Book

Murder in the CIA (1988)

Enjoyable but my library only had the large print version and when I read one of those types I feel like I'm reading a primer! Lots of characters and just like the heroine you don't know who to trust! This is the first time I've seen the author add her political beliefs. She is not a big fan o...

Murder in the White House (2001)

I knew Ms. Truman was a mystery writer, but I never had any interest in reading her works until I visited the Truman’s Little White House in Key West and learned Ms. Truman was inspired by Agatha Christie. Had the two been publishing at the same time, Ms. Christie would not have had to worry abo...

Book

Murder at the Pentagon (1993)

This was such a strange book for me to read. I am currently assigned to the Pentagon, so the title of the book caught my eye. But the book was written before I ever joined the military, so it has a very dated feel to it. And interestingly enough, many of the controversial issues discussed in t...

Book

Murder at the Kennedy Center (1990)

I'm "reading" the audio abridgment on my way to and from work, and I have to say it's ridiculously boring. I don't know if it's the abridger's fault or the author's fault, but the language and descriptions are boring or cliched or they take the time to describe things that don't really need descr...

Murder at the National Gallery (1997)

Hey y'all guess what a series based in DCI am finding that it is most helpful to read the copyright date before beginning the book because it helps me as a reader get a handle on the available technology. If the author has a sidekick accessing a phone in the car and the book was published in the ...

Murder on the Potomac (1995)

"Dallas" in DCIf you're a fan of murder mysteries, this could well be entertaining. Having worked in DC for over a decade, it was very interesting for me to see all the local landmarks and hangouts - but from a very different perspective. The perspective is very slightly left of center, and is ve...

Book

Murder on Capitol Hill (2001)

I'm not a fan of predictability. I'm especially not a fan of the protagonist being blind to things that should be obvious to her, so that she looks like she's stupid. In this book we had all of that plus the protagonist essentially blaming one of the victims (who was victimized first by her fat...

Murder at The Washington Tribune (2006)

Once upon a time I read Margaret Truman mystery novels. I don't remember which ones they were, sadly, but I do remember liking them. So I started to collect them as I found them at book sales and whatnot, and when I got back into audio books at the beginning of the year, I thought I'd start "re...

Experiment in Murder (2012)

I have not read a Margaret Truman novel in forever and now I remember why. She really wasn't a very good writer.The thing that is interesting about this book is that the author died in 2008 I believe and there is a copyright of 2012 by her estate. Who finished the book? There are references to...

Margaret Truman's Experiment in Murder: A Capital Crimes Novel (2013)

The last two books that I've read of Margaret Truman have let me less than satisfied. All her other books seem to wrap things up nicely and justice is done. This book and the last one I read don't bring the closure they should. Justice is done. The Apparatus behind the antagonist goes on unpunish...
