Roxann Larotonda's Reviews > The Scandalous Hamiltons: A Gilded Age Grifter, a Founding Father's Disgraced Descendant, and a Trial at the Dawn of Tabloid Journalism

A history buff, I especially enjoy being enlightened of events that I’m unfamiliar with. Bill Shaffer has done a remarkable job in doing that, bringing the story of Robert Ray Hamilton, great grandson of Founding Father Alexander Hamilton, to life. This thoroughly researched book, The Scandalous Hamiltons, checks all the boxes of the engrossing true story of Ray & his deceitful wife Eva. It’s all there…scandal, attempted murder, baby trafficking, & court room drama. I was delighted to receive the ARC as this book was engrossing from page one & hard to put down.
