The Devil Inside,
This review is from: The Devil's Chessboard (Paperback)
Charlie Rush's The Devil's Chessboard, except for all the hacking and slashing, was a great little Civil War "cozy" mystery. Don't get me wrong--the hacking and slashing are central to the story, and needed, and it is set during the Civil War, where war is hell, and murder set within your own ranks, worse. Charlie has a great sense of history, and did his research. You feel as though you're back in 1862, living out the mystery along with the characters in his tale. I like how he also included snippets of data at the beginning of his chapters. Nice touch. As his dedication tells you, one of his three great-grandfathers, Private John W. Allen, served under Hood's Texas brigade, and you can sense Charlie's pride for the Confederate forces, and Texas in particular. Texas, it seems is a state of mind, not just a state.
