In 1865, Elizabeth Keckley, Mary Todd Lincoln’s dressmaker, conspired to change the course of the Civil War.

My Review





The reason I wanted to read this book was Elizabeth Keckley, she made gowns for Mary Todd Lincoln, so I knew this would interest me.
We travel around the state of Illinois, and with President Lincoln being from there, it is full of historical sites and information, which I found very interesting, including lots of antique stores.
The author has us with antique hunters Ann Hillstrom and C. C. Muller, and of course we have the Keckley gown, now I would love to see it, and I guess there are a lot of others who would too.
The story seems to have a lot of surprises, and I never expected the ending! Come and get lost in a historical dress murder mystery!
I received this book through Great Escapes Virtual Book Tours, and was not required to give a positive review.
