A powerful secret organization, a deadly assassin, a President with a dangerous new agenda—all outsmarted by a woman from Junction City, Kansas! Poor Mary Ashley has no idea what she is in for after being approached by the President of the USA to become his new Romanian Ambassador. She considers it a great honor but declines, not wanting to upend her life and family. She accepts only after her husband is killed in a suspicious auto accident. This political thriller is fast-paced, suspenseful, and sometimes very amusing. Smart and fun, I found this book very entertaining and highly recommend it. “Even when lightning flashes inside them [clouds], we say they are only clouds and turn our attention to the next meal, next pain, next breath, the next page. This is how we go on.” ― Sidney Sheldon, Windmills of the Gods Another good Sheldon book. This one combines politics with plenty of mystery and intrigue and is an engrossing well written book. In spite of my love for all things Sheldon, this one, for me, was not quite as good, as some of his others. There are though plenty of Windmill lovers who would say different! I have read some of the reviews on this book and I remember it as a best seller. I have other favorite Sheldon books but this one is still a great quick read an d one that I have read a few times now. It is still complex with the signature Sheldon twist and plenty of twists and turns. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

We come into the world of the Ashleys. Mary is a professor at KSU, her husband is a doctor with a good medical practice. The POTUS, Paul Ellison, offers her a gig being an ambassador, which she turns down not wanting to leave her husband. Then he dies mysteriously in an accident. Grieving, she takes the POTUS up on his offer.
She's a great ambassador but her second in command, Mike Slade, wants her dead and tries non stop to kill her. Anybody on team Mary gets killed. This opens up a Scooby Doo who done it mystery to find out who wants her dead and why, which a campy ending that really doesn't make sense in the scheme of things in the book, like secret shadow societies in the highest offices of government making decisions, but you're glad it's over.
