Terror

Booklist: The leads are witty, and the prose is elegant. But readers should prepare to wallow in the book and take it slowly.

Kirkus:  Adding political and financial corruption to uncover, manipulators to expose and a war with Mexico to prevent might make the plot seem too complex, but no loose end is left untied, and only one or two insignificant anachronisms should trouble the most sophisticated reader. An intriguing literary mystery mixing fact and fiction.

Go figure.
