Elizabeth Tyler MacMann, the First Lady of the United States, has been charged with killing her philandering husband. The media has never liked Beth MacMann and refers to her as "Lady Bethmac." For a top-notch defense attorney, she's forced to turn to Boyce "Shameless" Baylor, her former fiance whom she dumped in favor of her current husband. It's been said of Baylor, "If Shameless Baylor had defended Adolf Eichmann...for crimes against humanity, Eichmann would have been not only acquitted, but awarded damages." This is a hysterical political satire and fun whodunnit - intelligent, witty, and humorous. How can you not like a book filled with characters such as Max Grab, a shady financier; Alan Crudman, another attorney of questionable ethics; and J.J. Bronco, a fellow who got away with murder. The ending was satisfying and much of it I had not anticipated. Lots of chuckles on every page and many laugh-out-loud moments in this story. ( ) Christopher Buckley usually pokes fun by exaggerating. This time most of his barbs could have been taken right off the nightly news. The president of the United States is found dead in his bed next to the first lady - after a night of passionate sex with the actress staying in the Lincoln bedroom. The first lady is arrested and tried for the murder of her husband. Buckley even explains what really happened when they said the president choked on a pretzel. So much of it is so real it's almost not funny. But this time he actually had a pretty decent plot. Meh. I finished it, so it isn't the worst book I've read, but if I hadn't been stuck in an airport for several hours, I'm not sure I would have finished it this quickly. It is a decent YA murder mystery. It has some moaning, but no graphic sex. I expected more from William Buckley's son. I'm not rushing out to find another by him. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
