Summary: Dastardly Deeds at the Smithsonian
Comment: Margaret Truman writes mysteries that capitalize on her terrific knowledge of Washington, DC, and impress me by moving right along to a solution. The plots can be a bit intricate, but that's part of the fun. In this story, Dr. Lewis Tunney, a historian, is murdered spectacularly on the balcony above the famous Focault pendulum in the National Museum of American History, during a gala attended by the Vice President of the United States. Captain Mac Hanrahan of the Washington police has the task, filled with political pressure, of solving the murder. He finds that Tunney had learned a devastating secret, and was murdered before he could reveal it. Hanrahan's task is complicated by the arrival in the United States of strong-willed Heather McBean, the Scottish fiance of Tunney. She sets out independently to find who murdered Tunney. But the murderer proceeds to kill others who might know Tunney's secret, and Heather finds herself stalked by the murderer. It all makes an enjoyable story.

Summary: DISAPPOINTED!
Comment: This is the first book I have read by Truman and guess it will be my last. I was very disappointed in it. I had heard such rave reviews. The book was very confusing to me. To many people involved and to much detail about places, to many murders and all by same people, in to many countries. I stayed lost a big part of the time. That may be due to my lack of smarts, but I was still lost. Sorry. Mrs. Truman.
