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.
Life is good for Kit Marshall. She's a staffer in D.C. for
a
popular senator, and she lives with an adoring beagle and a
brainy boyfriend with a trust fund. Then, one morning, Kit
arrives at the office early and finds her boss, Senator
Langsford, impaled by a stainless steel replica of an Army
attack helicopter.
Panicked, she pulls the weapon out of his chest and
instantly becomes the prime suspect in his murder.
Circumstances back Kit's claim of innocence, but her
photograph has gone viral, and the heat won't be off until
the killer is found. Well-loved though the senator was,
suspects abound. Langsford had begun to vote with his
conscience, which meant he was often at odds with his
party.
Not only had the senator decided to quash the ambitions of
a
major military contractor, but his likely successor is a
congressman he trounced in the last election. Then there's
the suspiciously dry-eyed Widow Langsford.
Kit's tabloid infamy horrifies her boyfriend's upper-crust
family, and it could destroy her career. However, she and
her free-spirited friend Meg have a more pressing reason to
play sleuth.
The police are clueless in more ways than one, and Kit
worries that the next task on the killer's agenda will be
to
end her life.
Book 1 in the Washington Whodunit series.
