At CrimesRead Cox tagged four favorite historical mysteries set in Early America, including:
Hudson’s Kill: A Justice Flanagan Thriller by Paddy HirschRead about another entry on the list.
Set in 1803 New York City, this book blew my mind. Paddy Hirsch is an NPR journalist, and the man can tell a story. He takes the reader into an early New York City murder investigation and brings to life shadowy communities within the city. If you’ve ever wondered how they investigated crimes before the internet, phones, heck, even widespread electricity, you’ll be fascinated by this story, not to mention the well-crafted mystery.
