Sadly, Margaret Truman's last book.
Good premise and plot, but we don't always like "change" and so I missed the Washington DC setting and 'insider' info on the buildings and institutions that were a core of her earlier works.
Not sure I could find much of a DC link to this - title seems misleading to me.
And although Mac & Annabelle Smith appear on these pages, I missed their love story.
It's a worthwhile read, just sad that we've lost Ms. Truman and the DC series. Sigh.....h ( )

I will miss Truman's books set in Washington DC. A mother hires a detective to find out why her daughter pled guilty to a murder she didn't commit, why she was gunned down on the street shortly after being released from prison, and who paid her the $10,000 to go to jail and keep silent. The tale starts in Savannah and leads the detective to Washington DC. Truman was a political insider and is able to take the reader to the behind the scenes with high level elected officials. Her father was the one who quipped, "If you want a friend in Washington, get a dog." ( )
