Joe is a Washington Post reporter so when a body is
found washed up on the canal, Joe is on the job. The victim
Valerie, a
senator's daughter, makes this a high priority case. This
case has many
secrets, and he can't wait to find them
out. The last time Valerie was seen was at a huge
Washington party, and Joe has to interview
everyone at this party.
Joe is not what you consider your
average journalist. He gets to the true story no
matter who he has to interview. Some characters
like him and give him the answers he is looking for. Others
lie to his face, and there are many people who are lying
about
where there were and who they were with the night of the
party. Joe gets
help
from some of the students who were in Valerie's class.
Little by little
the puzzle is
coming together, but will Joe find out who the real killer
is and why
Valerie
was the victim?
MURDER IN GEORGETOWN is the first book that I have read of
Margaret
Truman. It is also, the seventh book in the Capital
Crimes series (a
twenty-nine books series!). Ms. Truman's writing is great,
and MURDER IN
GEORGETOWN kept me guessing the whole time. I also
enjoyed the
fact that I didn't have to read any of the other books in
this series since all the characters are different in each
book.
Margaret Truman gives an inside look at what possibly goes
on in
government offices. True? Maybe but there is also probably
a
little extra added to it. If you like a cozy mystery
MURDER IN GEORGETOWN is the book for you. I highly
recommend it.
When the corpse of a young woman is found floating down Washington's C&O Canal, everyone is shocked to learn the victim is none other than Valerie Frolich—a senator's daughter, Georgetown graduate, and a rising star in the cutthroat world of investigative journalism. Washington Post reporter Joe Potamos is good at unearthing the skeletons in the nation's capital, so when he's assigned the Frolich story, he immediately senses this case is rife with secrets. As he digs further to uncover the truth about Valerie's death, it soon becomes apparent someone wanted the young, beautiful reporter dead. And when Joe's search uncovers an evil labyrinth of intrigue involving murder, bribery, kidnapping, and even international espionage, he'll have to race to find Valerie's killer—before his own life is snuffed out.
