Summary: A good yawn?
Comment: No fan of her writings, I still buy them all, when they become available in paperbacks, because I like the "inside" insights she always has to offer on Washington. But after 13 (or is it 14?) I have to repeat what I said about the third one: Poor Meg, she never could sing and she still can't write! In Watergate she almost outdoes herself for bad grammar, awkward syntax and malapropisms; this one afforded opportunities for bad Spanish as well, of which she took plenty of advantage. Otherwise we have the usual plodding method: No one can come onstage without a complete inventory of how he is dressed, whether or not it adds to his character portrayal. No one can eat a meal without a litany of courses obvioualy drawn from the restaurant menu. Every movement through any city has to be traced out on a city map. I'm sure by now she has a healthy library of menus, maps and fashion magazines, where what she really needs is a good editor. But there is something new in Watergate, or anyway something I've not noticed in previous Murders here and there -- political polemics, and the lady plainly does not understand the politics or economics of free trade, and her bungling treatment of NAFTA detracts from an already-less-than-mediocre story.

Summary: the best murder mystery by Truman by far
Comment: Truman has outdoone herself with this one! its the best mystery ever by the queen of political mystery. Who did it? ask Margaret and she will tell you who!
Rating: 3
Summary: LOVE The Capital Crime Series!
Comment: But this one wasn't as great as most of the others. I enjoyed the action and even found the opinionated descriptions of corruption in Mexico somewhat interesting and thought-provoking. But wish that this book didn't feel so rushed and that it had more heart. I was getting a "Lawrence Sanders" kind of feeling (whose books I also enjoy, but in a different way).
