I have just about finished Margaret Truman's latest murder mystery.
This one is better than her last book about the stolen Carvagio
paintings. In this one there is the Russian Mafia paired with the old
hard line Communists and a self-centered bottom line before anything
else Capitalist. Talk about an unholy Troika! And those are just a few
of the characters in this little drama. Others include the CIA, FBI,
and other 'alphabet soup' agencies. It's also a good way to learn where
to go for a good dinner if you ever happen to visit Washington DC.
It's not as complex as some of her earlier novels, but it is a good
read. Being the daughter of a president might have gotten her first
manuscript in the publisher's door, but it wouldn't have gotten her
published... certainly not more than once. Enjoy. Jan :))
