The Hopefuls - Jennifer Close
She Read
A light, entertaining read about two couples who worked on the Obama campaign and moved to Washington, DC to work in the administration. Good character development of three of the four characters, although the narrator tended to not have much of a personality. Observations about life in DC and later Sugarland, Tx were engaging. I have to say, though, I wish I had read it a few months ago; reading it now, in this political climate, was a bit depressing.

The Trapped Girl - Robert Dugoni
The Trapped Girl - Robert Dugoni
She read
This is the fourth in the Tracy Crosswhite series. The character development is so good that it is not necessary to have read the prior ones, although they would give more background on some of the characters.
I've read some of Dugoni's other works and enjoy this writer.
This book had a "Gone Girl" feel to it in style and story. There are a number of twists and the plot is somewhat complex, but it is easy to follow. It moves along at a good pace and kept my interest throughout. Another winning police procedural for Dugoni.

Moral Defense - Marcia Clark
Moral Defense - Marcia Clark
She read
The second in the Samantha Brinkman series, it is the first one that I have read. I didn't feel I missed anything by not reading the first book in the series as the repeating characters backgrounds and personalities were filled in pretty well. The action moved along, with twists and turns as more and more of the plot was revealed. The story's action and characters were easy to follow. I probably will not seek out additional titles in this series as I didn't particularly like Samantha nor her freewheeling, personal forms of justice. I felt that as an attorney, she was almost as scary as the guilty parties introduced.

He is a big fan of Richard Russo and enjoyed this sequel to Nobody's Fool. Russo has a great grasp of small town living and conveys it well in his writing.
