2.0étoiles sur 5 Moderately entertaining, Avril 27 2004
Par William Whyte (Somerville, MA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
The first book in Margaret Truman's Capital Crimes series is moderately entertaining, but no more. The Secretary of State is killed in the White House; the President appoints his inexperienced Junior Counsel to head up the investigation. There's a lot of talk, an action sequence, some more talk, another murder, some more talk, and then it all ends rather hurriedly.

The book's main strength is the way it hints that bigger, darker things are at stake. But it has no real sense of urgency or structure. For example: couldn't the investigators have made a list of all people who had access to the relevant part of the White House at the relevant time, and worked through them one by one? Instead, they seem to be poking around at random. You can never tell whether or not they're really making progress. Another example: the hero didn't vote for the President, has no investigative experience, and yet is put in charge of the investigation. This could be a fascinating hook to explore the President's mixed motivations and the hero's ambition, but it too goes nowhere. The characterization throughout is fairly flat, with only the central puzzle holding the reader's attention.

Oh, and... I guessed the murderer, and more or less the motive. Fun, and somewhat atmospheric just by virtue of its setting, but by no means great.

3.0étoiles sur 5 baltazar rosiles review, Avril 14 2004
(...) Margaret Truman's book, Murder in the White House, merits three stars because this book gets the attention of the reader with great and pretty details, keeping the book interesting and emotionally. This book is about looking the responsible of the murder in the white house; in the way the book shows all the relations or romance that Blaine had before he pass away, and also the cost that Ron Fairbanks had to find the true of this accident. This incident provides dark pass of Blaine's life, Ron's consequences, the bribes to cancel the agreements, and secretes of the president's family. (...)Also, we will learn to say always the true to prevent consequences. I really recommend this novel to everybody who wants to increase their knowledge of the problems that happen to the biggest people of the society. I really learned a lot of this novel because I always thought that the biggest people do not suffer and we can see during this novel that everybody is human and everybody can make mistakes and feel the consequences of the mistakes
