In the fall of 1765, New York City is roiling with fury at the impending enforcement of the Stamp Tax, which portends ruin to virtually all classes. There could not be a worse moment for the young, fetching-but none too bright-third wife of a wealthy merchant to be brutally stabbed to death in her own backyard. With some factions in the city calling for peaceful protest while others howl for armed defiance, her foolish jests against the radicals had aroused bitter indignation, widespread contempt, and the family's mortification. When the slogan of the Sons of Liberty is discovered near her corpse, supporters of the imperial prerogative are quick to assign blame.
Unexpectedly commissioned to seek out the truth, aspiring shipper Thomas Dordrecht's first duty is to his desperate employers, frantically working to put their ships to sea before the November first deadline. But when the tax goes into effect on that date, Dordrecht is hot in pursuit of the culprit . . . as the town erupts in a full-scale riot that nearly touched off the American Revolution ten years early. “Exquisite Folly is terrific: a marvelous combination of suspense with a superb portrait of New York society.” -Thomas Fleming, author of Liberty!

The plot is exciting with unexpected twists, seamlessly woven into the historical events surrounding the British attempt to impose the Stamp Act on the American colonials in 1765. The characterizations of the hero Thomas, his friends, and his nefarious adversaries are all excellent. "Exquisite Folly" can be enjoyed by readers who have not yet read the earlier books in the series, but I highly recommend those as well. You needn't be a history buff to enjoy these books.

If history, humor and delightful tales are to your taste, do not hesitate to read the Thomas Dordrecht books. The only problem I have with them is re-entering the 21st century when I put the book down. Okay, one more problem, I have to wait for the next one.
