Helpful Score: 1

I enjoyed the Benjamin Weaver trilogy of books-A CONSPIRACY OF PAPERS, A SPECTACLE OF CORRUPTION and THE DEVIL'S COMPANY- much more than THE WHISKEY REBELS.

Weaver is a more likable and complex character. He has not only to deal with plying his trade adhering to the standards of the class system, but to do it in spite of being Jewish in a highly predjudiced society. There are many plot twists and I really did not anticipate the conclusions.

Highly recommended if you enjoy mysteries and novels set in 18th century Britain.
