Murder Inside the Beltway Audiobook (Unabridged)

" My Florida book club read this book... a quick read by Margaret Truman (daughter of Prez Truman). Good insider information on DC and White House. Nothing spectacular to recommend. "

" Grabbed this as I was leaving the library - it's even in large print!!! "

" Pretty gritty and well written as usual. "

" It seems like I have been reading mostly mysteries lately. But this book was one to read for my book club. I have always wanted to read a Margaret Truman mystery and seriously don't know why I never have. This was a nifty little mystery, just the way I like, no gratuitous violence, bad language or pointless sex. Just some interesting politicians, and a team of police detectives trying to figure out a call girl's murder and then a kidnapping of a daughter of a highly connected lawyer working on a presidential campaign. This was Margaret Turman's last "Captial Crimes Novel". She wrote 24 of them. She died in 2008. I could tell that she really understood Washington D.C. and all its excesses and scandals. She should since she lived in the White House. Her 3 sons wrote the dedication in this last novel. I thought it was so sweet I want to quote it, "Dedicated, with love, to our mother, Margaret Truman Daniel. For more than thirty years, she like nothing better than to sit at home in New York, murdering people in Washington, D.C., one at a time." "

" I read it right after Ms. Truman died, I had read a lot of her series in the past, but had stopped. This was rather transparent, but she was a wonderful woman. "

" Finished my first book for 2012. Margaret Truman is my favorite murder mystery writer. Almost read all of her works in the Capital Crimes series and this one kinda disappointed me. "

" I like Margaret's stories. I am sad this will be the lat one. "

" I'm so sad that this is the last book we'll see of Margaret Truman's (she passed away the year this was published). "

" Corruption in politics and law enforcement and a resulting murder. Well written. "

" One of her better mysteries, but did she actually write it? "

" Unsatisfying:characters undeveloped, police procedures too long drawn out, too much information. Wouldn't recommend it. "

" The only thing stopping me from giving this a higher rating is the ending left a few unanswered questions. All in all, a book I recommend reading "

" My first Margaret Truman book. I enjoyed it very much. Looking forward to reading more of hers. RIP Margaret. "

" I really enjoyed this book as I have most of Margaret Truman's books. This was her last as she passed away last year, so I savored this one even more. "

" I would have rated this much higher had the ending been stronger...It just seemed to fizzle away in the last few pages. Wrap up, wrap up...I'm done. "

" The last book in a 20 year series. Ms Truman's sons wrote, in the dedication, that their mom loved nothing better than being in her NYC apartment, murdering people one at a time in Washington DC "

" An easy, entertaining mystery, but not as good as some of the others in Truman's DC series. Take crooked politicians and crooked cops, mix in a few prostitutes, give them outdated ideas on all 3 professions, and stir well. "

" This was not my favorite Margaret Truman book. The set up took a really long time, and that made the plot very slow. She is a fun author to get on CD, as it makes car rides go much faster. "

" This was not one of my favorites by Margaret Truman. The tying up loose ends at the end seemed contrived, and the dialog was blah, the same words used over and over. "

" Way above my age group but THE BEST BOOK!!! "

" ok. typical MT political murder mystery, nothing exciting. "

" Trumans's writing is always excellent. Her views of the Washington scene come from experience and she tells a story that keeps you enthralled. I have read almost all of her books and it is a joy to read someone who writes with command of English. "

" I would have rated this much higher had the ending been stronger...It just seemed to fizzle away in the last few pages. Wrap up, wrap up...I'm done. "

" Good all around book - kept you guessing! "

" Just happened to pick this one up--read another years ago. Authoe does a nice job developing her characters--the detectives as well as the call girls and lastly, politicians. She has more respect for the cops, that's for sure! She must have learned something from her Dad. "

" I read it right after Ms. Truman died, I had read a lot of her series in the past, but had stopped. This was rather transparent, but she was a wonderful woman. "

" book on tape i've read all her stuff, i thought years ago. i needed car stories. this was perfect. "

" An easy, entertaining mystery, but not as good as some of the others in Truman's DC series. Take crooked politicians and crooked cops, mix in a few prostitutes, give them outdated ideas on all 3 professions, and stir well. "

" I'm so sad that this is the last book we'll see of Margaret Truman's (she passed away the year this was published). "

" I really enjoyed it!! I really miss her!! "

" ok. typical MT political murder mystery, nothing exciting. "

" Writing so bad, it crushes the soul. "As for money, you've been a wonderful provider for me and our three children." "While aware that prejudice existed despite advances made by African-Americans, he'd suffered little of it growing up...." "

" Grabbed this as I was leaving the library - it's even in large print!!! "

" Another well-written and interesting entry in the series (and her last), even though her politics seems to have come out much more than in other volumes, which is annoying. "

" enjoyable, easy read for relaxation. "
