Helpful Score: 1
My bookclub read this selection from Nevada Barr and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Yes, she alternates chapters and one of our members read the book in that manner--first all present day, then all in the past. I don't, however, recommend that method. What I found intriguing was the history about John Wilkes Booth and those who helped him along with the woman who was married to the commander of the prison there on the islands. Her letters and Nevada reading them and having a mystery of her own to solve made it a doubly enjoyable read. If you enjoy historical fiction you'll especially like this. It's the only book of hers that I've kept.
