David Forsmark reviews The First Assassin in Frontpagemag.com:
Miller, a top-notch columnist and observer of the cultural scene, proves equally adept at fiction with this crackerjack historical thriller. Imagine Jeff Shaara setting Frederick Forsythe’s The Day of the Jackal in the first days of the Lincoln presidency, and you have The First Assassin. … Miller does a terrific job of immersing the reader in a time and place that is familiar, but not necessarily that well understood. … Miller crafts human beings on all sides with complex motives and various degrees of weaknesses, selfishness, idealism, evil and goodness.
The First Assassin has received several mentions in the blogosphere. It also came under attack from left-wingers who didn’t bother to read it. This piece by Forsmark, however, may be the first full review. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
