Erica Sparks is one of the country's top reporters. Erica's
show
is number one on her cable network. Now the one story
that she really wants is hosting the president
debate. She wants to do an indepth story on the two
candidates.
One is Mike Ortiz, a war hero. The other one is a Fred
Buchanan, a Midwestern man. Both candidates have what it
takes to be president.
As both candidates are arriving at
the debate center Erica is there ready to get
interviews. Just as the Buchanan's arrive a
bomb goes off and the candidate and his wife are killed. Shock
waves go through the crowd. Everyone is upset by this
terrible crime, except for Mike Ortiz and his wife,
Celeste. Can Erica find out what is behind this
attack?
What a great book by Lis Wiehl! Even though THE CANDIDATE
was written before the election, there is so much that
rings true in the election of 2016. Even some of the
candidates name were mentioned.
I really like the way that Wiehl keeps you in suspense
until the very end. Who are the good guys, who are the
bad? Wiehl also shows how some people would do
anything to win an election. THE CANDIDATE is a great book
and a fast read.
But in the end, will the good guy win out?
Pick it up, read it, and see the similar story that is
going on today.
