Kit's life couldn't be better. She has the kind of job she always wanted, working for Senator Langsford, a man she admires. Kit arrives early one morning to put her report on the senator's desk for a very important meeting, but what a surprise when she walks into his office and he is dead. Without thinking, she pulls the murder weapon out of his chest. This of course makes her the prime suspect in his murder.

After being cleared of the murder, Kit knows she has to put on her PI gloves and find out who really killed the senator. With the help of one of her best friends, Meg, they are determined to get to the bottom of this.

While investigating the murder, they have a list of suspects, everyone from his wife, who hated him, to some of the office staff. Little by little things are falling into place. But through all of this, Kit becomes a target.

STABBING IN THE SENATE is the first in the Washington Whodunit series. Author Colleen J. Shogan is a great writer, and STABBING IN THE SENATE held my interest. This is very important to me. If I am reading a book and can't get into it by about 100 pages, I don't feel like finishing it. That is not the case in this book. STABBING IN THE SENATE had me hook right from the beginning.

Colleen Shogan explains many things that go on in the Senate. for example how one Senator wants another Senator to cosign a bill pledging for signing one of his in return? I know things like this go on all the time in the Senate, but I guess you would call this politics in the works. The other thing I like about STABBING IN THE SENATE is that even though this is the first in a series, all the characters are going to be different so you don't have to read the first one to read the second one, and so on. When you have a day you don't know what you should do, pick up STABBING IN THE SENATE. It will keep you entertained until the very end.
