Reviews
"Filled with vivid details, shocking truths, and two sly, strong women who bring panache and humor to every scene. I'm simply in awe of the masterful, magical way Lauren Willig makes history come alive." -- Fiona Davis, New York Times bestselling author of The Magnolia Palace, on Two Wars and a Wedding "Lauren Willig delivers a winning epic of war and friendship. Readers will devour this riveting tale." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) on Two Wars and a Wedding "With her trademark wit and storytelling talent, Lauren Willig takes you on a journey into history that is both wildly entertaining and deeply heartfelt. You'll be rooting for this courageous, delightful heroine on every page." -- Simone St. James, New York Times bestselling author of The Book of Cold Cases, on Two Wars and a Wedding "Brilliant...historical fiction at its absolute finest--with an intricately woven plot, vivid historical details, and complex female characters that you cannot help but root for from the start." -- Jane Healey, author of Goodnight from Paris, on Two Wars and a Wedding "Vivid and unforgettable, with a captivating cast of entertaining characters and immersive historical details, Lauren Willig transports us to the front lines of two fascinating, yet often overlooked, conflicts.

Synopsis
"This is historical fiction at its best." -- Book Reporter Based on the true story of a famous trial, this novel is Law and Order: 1800 , as Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr investigate the shocking murder of a young woman who everyone--and no one--seemed to know. At the start of a new century, a shocking murder transfixes Manhattan, forcing bitter rivals Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr to work together to save a man from the gallows. Just before Christmas 1799, Elma Sands slips out of her Quaker cousin's boarding house--and doesn't come home. Has she eloped? Run away? No one knows--until her body appears in the Manhattan Well. Her family insists they know who killed her. Handbills circulate around the city accusing a carpenter named Levi Weeks of seducing and murdering Elma. But privately, quietly, Levi's wealthy brother calls in a special favor.... Aaron Burr's legal practice can't finance both his expensive tastes and his ambition to win the 1800 New York elections. To defend Levi Weeks is a double win: a hefty fee plus a chance to grab headlines. Alexander Hamilton has his own political aspirations; he isn't going to let Burr monopolize the public's attention. If Burr is defending Levi Weeks, then Hamilton will too. As the trial and the election draw near, Burr and Hamilton race against time to save a man's life--and destroy each other. Part murder mystery, part thriller, part true crime, The Girl From Greenwich Street revisits a dark corner of history--with a surprising twist ending that reveals the true story of the woman at the center of the tale. "A real triumph! In Lauren Willig's brilliant retelling of one of the most famous murder trials in American history, she brings to poignant life its most forgotten figure -- the high-spirited young woman whose killing was used by the trial's lawyers, Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr, for their own political ends. Willig gives us a masterful portrait of the many perils of being a woman in this country's earliest years." -- Lynne Olsen, New York Times bestselling author of Empress of the Nile, Based on the true story of a famous trial, this novel is Law and Order: 1800, as Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr investigate the shocking murder of a young woman who everyone--and no one--seemed to know.
