David Liss is my new favorite author. Rarely am I lucky enough to read a book that I really love. Even rarer is it for me to love all of the books I've read written by a single author. I'm impressed by David Liss, I know I'm a hard audience to please. Earlier this year my book club selected 'The Whiskey Rebels' for our group read, I loved it. I thought it was a wonderful blend of history and suspense with an entertaining protagonist at it's center. I hoped that his other novels would be as enjoyable and soon after read 'A Conspiracy of Paper' and 'A Spectacle of Corruption'. I loved them as well and was thrilled to learn that David Liss had another installment of Benjamin Weaver's exploits coming out this summer. Our hero's current intrigues revolve around the British East Indian Company and it's quest to dominate the textile market. He is pulled into a web of deceit by Jerome Cobb who is blackmailing him to serve his own purposes. Weaver will need to unravel a complicated knot of animosities and allegiances in order to command his own life once again. David Liss does a fabulous job of painting a descriptive picture of London in the eighteenth century, weaving interesting history into an engaging and suspenseful story. I love learning the origin of words and the history of London, especially the Rules of the Fleet, while being entertained. I was not disappointed with the latest in this series and I hope David Liss goes on to write many more stories about the clever and charismatic Benjamin Weaver. Some women have a thing for Rod Stewart or Patrick Dempsey. I have a 'thing' for Ben Weaver. Okay, I have to amend my earlier statement and be completely honest, my only disappointment with this book was that Ben was never with a woman so that I could imagine myself being that woman. *smirk* I can't wait to see what the next installment will bring for my hero.
