They arrived in New York City two days later. Evarts wanted a base of operations away from the city, so they rented yet another cheap motel room in Newark, close by the airport.

They arrived in New York City two days later. they both dress businesslike, so the next morning they shopped. They didn’t have time for custom tailoring, so it took most of the day to find appropriate clothing that fit well enough off the rack. They went into the city by train the following morning and took the subway to the financial district.

In just over an hour, Evarts and Baldwin found themselves back at the Athenaeum buried in books. Evarts tried several Shakespeare plays but had no more luck than with the law books. Mean anything to you? he asked. Baldwin studied it a minute and then exclaimed, You did it!

Evarts swallowed the last of his Coke. My parents never showed any secretive behaviors. Just the opposite: They made an obsessive point about none of us ever having any secrets from the rest of the family.

Evarts swallowed the last of his Coke. But I did feel they were trying to mold me as well. They’re pretty controlling. I always sensed something was amiss, and I guess my obstinacy about being controlled is my way of rebelling against them. But you don’t think they were part of a secret society? I’m certain they weren’t. They wouldn’t even join AARP

When a rich Santa Barbara collector acquires a newly discovered Abraham Lincoln document, he asks detective Greg Evarts and UCLA professor Patricia Baldwin to authenticate it. Their research launches them into a dangerous struggle with a secret society formed during Reconstruction. Before they can solve the mystery surrounding the Lincoln manuscript, a shocking murder forces them to run for their lives. As they race across the country, they discover a Civil War secret that could upset the balance of power in North America. Now Evarts and Baldwin must unravel the 150-year-old conspiracy before it's too late . . . and before they are silenced for good.

Evans and Baldwin are in a fight and race for their lives. It seems that there are hidden messages in some of Lincoln's speeches that were only meant for a secret society, The Shut Mouth Society. The Shut Mouth Society will go to great lengths to keep their society and secrets a secret. If Baldwin want to learn the real meaning of her parents death, she'll have to expose the secrets. That could be a big blow to US History. The problem is that The Shut Mouth Society is ready to kill anyone who stands in their way. That's all I really want to say about the plot, anything more would be a spoiler.

This book has to much potential, but it falls flat. This falls short on so many levels. First, the characters are flat. They also fall in love way, way to fast. Most of all, they're boring. They only have moments of enlightenment when it suits them, then they go back to being boring again.

Another problem I had is that it's way to long. There are so many pointless and wasted scenes. They were in the book only to make it longer. Does it really take 5 or 6 pages to say that someone went into a bank? Just a lot of wasted, useless, and pointless scenes. There's really not any twist and turns to keep the reader hooked. I kept on saying, "This has to get better" and it never does.

The book needs an editor. There are hyphen marks in the middle of words for no reason. We're treated to "doc-uments" "mon-ey" and things like that. It was a distraction and there's no excuse for that. It's just someone not doing their job.

I won't' even suggest this as a book you can get from the library. It has the feel of the "DaVinci Code", never comes close to it.

This novel reads almost like formula writing. The female looks down on the male lead initially, but before long she sees him as quite a hunk. He admires her for more than her body (which is terrific). He is being framed by someone he works with. Before long the two must flee the scene. The car chase is really exciting, and our heroes shake the bad guys. Before long there is another scary scene for the two of them to have to worry about being able to survive, and so it goes. While we know they had great sex, we were spared the gruesome details. It's an okay book for a plane ride, but it's really predictable.

I assume parts of this novel are historically correct, the problem is I don't know which parts.

I read this book in a day, and could not put it down for the fast paced drama, intermingled with a small amount of romance.

I liked the characters although perhaps there could have been a little more insight into them.

What I really wanted was sequel, to see how the rest of things turned out, and more about the 2 socities as well as the main characters parental involvedment. The book eniticement preview that followed seems to take a step back in time, rather than forward. There is not much use to reading a novel that happened hundreds of years prior to the novel you just completed.

I'll check the story line of the other book, "Tempest" but if it is a sequel, that is not readily apparent in the first few pages of the preview.

I enjoyed teh writers style, and I always enjoy a bit of history combined with some fast action as well as police and FBI involvement.

I'd read it again, which is the best compliment I think you can give a book.

Light reading, but a nice diversion. I always try to intersperse some light reading in between reading "heavier" novels, and boy have I read some heavy novels and one 500 page non fiction prior to this. It was a welcome relief to not only read something lighter that also had a historical base (my favorite kind of novel) without having to stop every 2 seconds to make note of typos, grammatical mistakes and such. I only have one note to myself in this book about one sentence that was a bit confusing.

I recommend this book, especially if you are star struck about Abraham Lincoln as many of us are. I hope the "other side of him" was a true part of this novel. If it was (and I suspect it was) it makes more sense as to how he got elected President, and the true motivations behind the Civil War and the political machinations at play.

Hono

I have just finished the Shut Mouth Society by James Best. As a very amateur Lincoln enthusiast, I loved the bits and pieces that made up the mystery. As a lover of great characters, I totally enjoyed the protagonists created by Mr Best! The Society itself that supposedly reaches back to the days of Lincoln, is very believable...alarmingly so! We all should wonder what secrets have continued through history clear through today and what result could occur if the information became public. Even our most respected President must have needed the protection of a force designed to keep secrets secret as he tried to keep the union together. Most of us have assumed and wondered for many years. If this sounds like your cup of tea, indulge! Myself, I am going to search out another Best novel...and find out what else's didn't know! Nice job!

Interesting historical novel. I really enjoyed it. Didn't know much US history about Abraham Lincoln and this was a bit if a history lesson for me. Good characters and a strong story. Give it a go.

Sorryyy

I must say that my initial impression from the opening scene almost stopped me in my tracks. The author has a exposition scene where a reporter in the 1800s is attending an Abraham Lincoln speech in New York prior to Lincoln's election. Somehow I doubted that 1800s reporters worried about their "careers", or that Lincoln ever would have said "That is cool." when making a speech. However, what I thought were historical anachronisms aside (see Author's comment below), the book got much better.

It is a convoluted plot, enjoyable and definitely worth the time. I was a bit disappointed that the climax happened so fast and without any details on exactly how all of the main characters' cross-country rampage got swept under the rug. Even so, a quite satisfactory ending (plus the NASCAR driver dies). No major formatting or editing anomalies either.

I would definitely consider reading more of James Best's work.
