		<description><![CDATA[I have so far enjoyed all the David Baldacci books I have read and First Family is no exception.  It is part of the Sean King and Michelle Maxwell series. The plot centers on the kidnapping of the President’s wife niece.  The first lady, who has known Sean King from the past, calls him in to investigate the kidnapping independent of the federal agencies.   The story line rotates between Sean King &#38; Michelle Maxwell’s investigation and the kidnapper’s actions/character.  There is a subplot involving the murder of Michelle Maxwell’s mother which has nothing to do with the main story line.  Baldacci touches on Michelle’s traumatic childhood event, but adds nothing to understanding her character better. Baladacci is a very good writer and I enjoy his books.  Saw that True Blood has come out since First Family and look forward to reading it.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Impaired Judgement by David Compton was a solid by the numbers thriller.  Didn&#8217;t realize until towards the end that I had read it before.  Still going thru my bookshelf trying to find books I haven&#8217;t read.  From Publishers Weekly &#8220;Barely halfway through your first hundred days in office and I&#8217;m afraid the honeymoon with Congress is over,&#8221; Paula Candler informs her husband, Jim, the newly elected president of the U.S. She&#8217;s right; the White House couple has plenty of enemies, and within a few pages of Compton&#8217;s second political thriller (after Executive Sanction), the Candlers are plunged into a tense plot whose twists and turns include corrupt courts, a mob ring, blackmail and a political scandal or two. The First Lady is also a federal court judge across the state border in Alexandria, Va., but whenever Del Owens, the president&#8217;s chief political adviser, pressures her to quit her job on the bench, the feisty feminist refuses. Then an FBI sting operation snatches up mobster Tony Remalli, charged with killing another female judge, and deposits him in Paula&#8217;s court. Remalli&#8217;s slick, extremely nasty Chicago lawyer, Don Russ, is assisted by a sexy, amoral and very enterprising investigator, Julia Menendez. After Julia starts [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Enemy by Lee Child was a terrific police detective novel.  The central character is an Army Military Police Major named Jack Reacher based in North Carolina.  On New Year’s Eve 1989/90, he receives a call that a two star general has died in a seedy motel located near the post.  The subsequent investigation leads Reacher and a MP Lieutenant on a global hunt to the top ranks of the Military.  A secondary story revolves around Reacher’s mother dying and his family relationships. The Enemy was a great book.  It was providence that I started it on vacation as I had the time not to put it down.  I plan to get more Lee Child novels from the library.  My only complaint is that the character wrap-up in the last few pages after the mystery was solved was weak.  For Reacher to do what he did, didn’t seem to fit his character as described.  All in all, a great book and can see why it was on the New York Times bestseller list.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Trunk Music by Michael Connelly was an excellent police detective novel.  The story has lots of twists and turns that kept me riveted. The plot revolves around Hollywood homicide detective Harry Bosch who has just returned to duty after an involuntary stress leave.  His first case back is a straight to video movie producer who is found shot to death in this Rolls-Royce.  The investigation leads Harry and his partners to cross paths with the Mob, internal affairs, organized crime intelligence division, FBI and more.  Nothing in this investigation is as it appears.  While in Las Vegas, Harry meets up with a former FBI agent lover who he helped send to jail. I was very impressed by Trunk Music and plan to search out more Michael Connelly novels.  Recommend Trunk Music to anyone who likes detective novels as it is a goody.  Surprised it didn’t make it to the New York Times best seller list.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The First Law by John Lescroart was a very good thriller.  It features San Francisco defense attorney Dismas Hardy and police lieutenant Abe Glitsky who are the primary characters in all the John Lescroart novels I have read so far.  This novel was slightly different as there was no primary legal proceeding that the plot was centered on. The plot revolves around the San Francisco Patrols Specials, a private police force for paying customers.  The story begins when Sam Silverman, an elderly pawnshop owner and friend of Abe Glitsky&#8217;s father, is murdered during a robbery.  Glitsky has been promoted from heading the San Francisco homicide division to payroll.  Even though he knows he will be stepping on the toes of the new homicide division chief, Glitsky starts asking questions about the murder.  Glitsky investigation soon leads him to believe that the primary suspect, Hardy’s client, is not the real killer. The First Law was very hard to put down.  I recommend it to anyone who likes police and legal thrillers.  While I didn’t purposely mean to read it next, The First Law is the prequel to The Motive, the last John Lescroart novel that I read.]]></description>
