| 1. American Sphinx by Joseph J Ellis was good also |
|
the John Adams biography by David McCullough had quite a lot of stuff about Jefferson in it.

| 2. Dumas Malone divides a six volume series by focus - scholar, architect, etc. |
|
So, you can read about what you want to focus on.

| 3. "Sworn Upon the Altar of God".... |
|
has some interesting insight on TJ's understanding of religious liberty.
"The Magnificent Catastrophe" is an excellent account of the election of 1800, between John Adams and TJ.
