Product Description
When private detective Dana Cutler is hired to follow college student Charlotte Walsh, she never imagines the trail will lead to the White House. But the morning after Walsh’s clandestine meeting with Christopher Farrington, President of the United States, the pretty young coed is dead—the latest victim, rumor has it that, of a fiend dubbed “the D.C. Ripper.”
A junior associate in an Oregon law firm, Brad Miller is stunned by the death row revelations of convicted serial killer Clarence Small. Though Small accepts responsibility for a string of gruesome murders, he swears he was framed for one of them: the death of a teenaged babysitter who worked for then-administrator Farrington.
Suddenly nowhere in America is safe for a tiny-time private eye and a fledgling lawyer who possess terrifying evidence that suggests the unthinkable: that a name at the very highest level of government, perhaps the president himself, is a cold and brutal killer.

I really wanted to like this one. Honest. But the saccharine interactions, the paint-by-market-research prose, and the leaden attempts to be cute were just too much. Unless you’re turned on by sophomoric characters and embarrassing dialogue, you might want to keep browsing.
(Here fund-fund. Look, I bought you your very own laptop!)

Bill Clinton’s salacious and tawdry behavior in the White House has spawned a new genre of books of presidents engaging in grubby sexual behavior and using murder as a means to take in it up. Prior to Mr. Clinton’s White House sexual contretemps these sort of political thrillers would not have aroused readers curiosity because the plots would have been too fantastic and too unimaginable, to have any semblance to reality. One element of excellent political fiction is that the plot must be plausible. If the reader thinks that it could take place then it qualifies for the summer reading list.
Readers of Executive Privilege are most likely to be reminded of the Clintons’ egregious abuse of power and their Faustian marriage pact to sacrifice like for power. Their reactions could range from Mr. Clinton could take in-up a murder to he would do it if necessary to protect himself. In Executive Privilege the First Lady Claire Farrington commits the murders. This twist makes it a fantastic read.
Mr. Clinton, like President Farrington, is a likeable person. Even conservatives like Mr. Clinton in social settings. But, Mrs. Clinton is reviled by most with her support primarily stemming from disaffected liberals, acolytes of socialism, and an effete cadre of misanthropic radical feminists. Mr. Clinton would commit a crime only if it were necessary to protect himself. The Meretricious Ice Lady would do it for the sheer pleasure of getting away with it, asserting her superiority over others, and to validate she is above the law. The common threads between the Farringtons and the Clintons are solipsism, megalomania, and an undeserving sense of entitlement. Read Executive Privilege and reminisce.

I got a fanstastic fee for this and as I was replacing a lost library book it was fantastic, but it took over three weeks to get it. Had I know that I would have Paid more from Amazon directly.
Thanks,

Certainly not a star in Phillip Margolin’s crown, “Executive Privilege” tells a tired and unimaginative tale despite the cast of serial killers, sketchy politicians,idealistic young lawyers, rogue security and a PI running under the radar. The narrative was redundant, with Cutler’s tale retold in painful detail to each new character on the scene. I skimmed the second half of the book just to be sure that it all played out as expected and in that was not disappointed.

I am shocked that this terrible book got such favorable reviews. I am a huge Margolin fan, and was deeply disappointed in this one. It somehow manages to be entirely predictable and utterly implausible.
And too much just doesn’t make sense. Does Dana have to sneak up on everyone? Any reason she couldn’t have walked into Gorman’s office? Or Brad’s for that matter?
Pure drivel.
