Very elaborate and good review. However I think I have to read the first two books of this series before I read this one. Congrats Botd!

It seems like a great one of its kind, well written, interesting and engrossing,as well as loaded with information. How such an adventurous and thrilling book can be realistic, i want to know.

Sounds like an epic adventure to the past. I'm tempted to give this historic mystery a try.

Awesome review!

This reviewer noted that this was this first time he/she has rated a book full stars. This goes to show how interesting and well written this book was. No surprises on the book of the day. I look forward to reading it. Thanks for the review.

I am really excited to start reading this book. The review was very interesting and intriguing. I look forward to getting my own experience. I loved the way the reviewer wrote the review. It made me even more interested in reading this book. I do believe I need to read the first two as well to get an even better experience.

I love historical fiction, and this seems amazing. It's cover page and title clearly gives an insight of what the book entails,and it seems to be fully packed with actions

The book sounds interesting and full of events with German spies, Mexican revolutionaries, devious political operatives. It is really good that the author did an extensive historic research and used the type of language spoken at the time which will be interesting to learn. Congratulations on becoming BOTD!

You review was really exciting to read, especially the last sentence. But, I am not hooked on historical fiction and the likes but thanks again.

I read the first chapter of this book and between that and this wonderful review, this book is instantly on my TBR list. I'm particularly interested in the Mexican setting that part of the book takes place in. It's a credit to the author that this book was so easily able to capture my attention even though I haven't read the first two books of the trilogy.

This sounds interesting but I feel like I need the first two books before starting this one. Great review!!

Working undercover for the government and posing as a tourist would be an exiciting job. The thing I liked most about the first 10 pages is the old sayings "I am fit as a fiddle and twice as loud" or "I was “steppin’ as high as a blind dog in tall grass.” I haven't heard those phrases. Nice review.

The third book of a triology, with Billy having gone undercover and disappearing misteriously. It will be interested to know what befall him. It also enlightens one of America history. It sounds like a good read for suspence and history lovers. Great review.

I love historical novels and the story about adventures and misfortunes of Billy sounds fascinating. I'd have to start with the first two books, of course. But I'm adding this to my reading list for sure.
