Duel with the Devil: The True Story of How Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr Teamed Up to Take on America's First Sensational Murder Mystery by Paul Collins

4.0

The author did a really good job of placing the reader in 1799/1800 New York City. He very clearly did his research. I would say this is a decent stab at turning a real life event into a book that reads like an actual story, rather than a dry retelling of facts. I found the title somewhat misleading as Burr and Hamilton aren't actually the focal point of this story. Levi Weeks really takes most of center stage. However I can't be mad about that as I never would have picked up a book tilted Duel with Devil: The True Story of Levi Weeks. It was a pretty quick read and I would recommend this for anyone who enjoys reading about history.
