Absolute Power by David Baldacci

Scandalous, murderous, preposterous enough to come true. 542 pages of Washington, DC mayhem involving the rich man's dead wife, the American President, Secret Service agents, a felon you gotta love, his daughter, the rich man, the firm's controlling partner, a lawyer I'd like to see naked, I'm sure; and some other interesting cast members.

Be ready to pick this up and put it down a lot, it's just so darn long. Doesn't really get going till about 2/3 way through, but kept me hanging on, nonetheless. Edifies my irrational anxiety about conspiracy theory! Very thoughtful book, twists and turns well explained when I needed them to be as I am not up on my "murder-ese."

I have it to pass along for free if anyone's interested.

More Books

While online today renewing my library books (no I haven't finished them but I am enjoying The Creative Habit by Twyla Tharp and Grace (Eventually) by Anne Lamott) I discovered book lists! You can sign up for either an email newsletter or add lists to your RSS feed. Nancy Pearl's list is there-you know Nancy, she's often on NPR with reading suggestions.

So I signed up for a couple-just what I need more book suggestions!

The library has a new web address: Pima County Public Library
