The First Family


David Baldacci wrote this compelling political thriller. 
We all enjoyed the read. What a BIG discussion!

We picked up a couple historical facts along the way.
  Eisenhower named Camp David after his grandson and Warren Harding's wife was suspected in his untimely death?  

(I think we forgot to discuss the secondary plot about Michelle's family. Interesting because that made her character even more complex.)

 Kathy comments: "The book kept me guessing on how everyone fit into Sam Quarry's timeline.   It was interesting the different feelings we had about the first lady and Sam Quarry."
Our host, Noreen had prepared several questions which really made us think and TALK!  Noreen likes the author, followed the TV series and is now reading Absolute Power - another of Baldacci's thrillers!

 Sylvia says, "I love page burners and legal/political connections. I've read all of Baldacci's books. The Camel Club series is my favorite!"
