Average rating3.4
Ethan Saunders, a former spy for George Washington, is recruited by Alexander Hamilton to find his ex-fiancee's missing husband. Meanwhile, Joan Maycott and her veteran husband, amid hardship and deprivation on the western Pennsylvania frontier, find unlikely friendship and a chance for prosperity with a new method of distilling whiskey. The Maycotts' success however attracts the brutal attention of men in Hamilton's orbit, men who threaten to destroy all Joan holds dear. As their causes intertwine, Joan and Saunders--both patriots in their own way--find themselves on opposing sides of a daring scheme that will forever change their lives and their new country.

I am a great fan of David Liss, even though not all of his books are of the same quality. [b:The Coffee Trader 49491 The Coffee Trader David Liss https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1314911453s/49491.jpg 2616025]The Coffee Trader and [b:A Conspiracy of Paper 49488 A Conspiracy of Paper (Benjamin Weaver, #1) David Liss https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1466292107s/49488.jpg 2362185]A Conspiracy Of Papers are breathtakingly good - I was enthralled, even as a historian who normally frowns at lots of anachronysms and just-not-right feellings.The Whiskey Rebels is not as good, it is drawn out too long, the plot is a little far fetched, but still I prefer this book over tons of other thrillers.
