These honored dead : a Lincoln and Speed mystery door Jonathan F. Putnam
I’ll try another one. Could have done without the harlequin like sex scenes , not really sure why the author felt they were necessary to establish the relationship between the murder victim and the protagonist. Not enough Lincoln. Did a fair job portraying him when he was there. Bits on slavery were good. Plot could be tighter, but for a first try, not bad
1837 and Joshua Speed just manages to board the steamboat War Eagle, owned by his father as it travelled up the Mississippi River.
Meanwhile new lawyer Abraham Linclon is on the circuit in Illinois hearing cases, when they meet up later on shore and discover a body. A body of a man who while recently on board the steamboat had lost all his money. Speed encourages Lincoln to defend the accused, while he aims to discover proof of innocence.
A very enjoyable introduction for me to this series, some good rounded characters and a well constructed mystery.

Political shenanigans abound in 1838 Springfield as Lincoln's past catched up on him. When a murder occurs on the four of July celebrations Speed and Lincoln must turn their talents to finding out the truth.
There are enough sub-plots to keep the pace of the tale moving along, and to make the story as a whole interesting, especially to someone like me who knows nothing about this period of history. The characters are also portrayed well.
This can easily be read as a standalone story but it might be worthwhile starting at the beginning.
