WHY DID I PICK THIS ONE?

I won a hard copy of this book back in 2012. I love historical mysteries and this one was set in Colonial America (and beyond) during the Revolutionary War so I thought that was a unique, exciting setting. In truth, I forgot I had it until I was looking for another book and came across it last fall. It's been on my mind to read ever since.
