157. Title & Author: First Family by David Baldacci (639 pages)*
Genre: Fiction--Thriller
Completed: 12 September 2010
Summary & Review:
The niece of the First Family is kidnapped by a man who holds both a deep, abiding grudge against them and a secret that could destroy them. To help locate the young girl, Jane Cox, the First Lady, enlists her friend Sean King and his partner Michelle Maxwell. As the pair track down the kidnapper and uncover the reasons behind his deed, Michelle's mother is murdered, adding yet another question to their growing list. Who killed Michelle's mom? Where is the First Family's niece? Why are Jane Cox and her husband, the President of the United States, desperate to the hide the truth that the kidnapper wants to expose?
Eh. This book was a mediocre thriller. I'm not much of a fan of Maxwell and King, and the books of Baldacci's that I have read that feature them have not been my favorite. I think Baldacci's other recurring characters, the rag tag bunch called the Camel Club, are much more entertaining and have been written into more interesting plots.
Rating: 5.0
