Kiss the First Lady Goodnight

Rating:
Summary: Great political mystery/comedy!
Review: Jim Ryan's "Kiss the First Lady Goodnight" was a real thrill to read. The author swept me right into the mystery of the murder of the ex-Lirst Lady, a search that involves political intrigue, blackmail, and a host of suspects as Jim O'Hara, a Public Defender, searches through the clues, even when his desire to get to the truth could mean the end of his own life. Good characterizations and settings, plus a great plot and a marvelous touch of humor, make this book a real keeper.

Summary: "Kiss the First Lady Goodnight" works as a story
Review: Loved the book; a story of a former First Lady, Ex-New Jersey Senator who, after indictment and jail is found murdered in a Fort Lauderdale pet store. Think naked Janet Reno and you'll understand where this twisted author takes the reader. As one review said: "Hillarious"! Great character development, good story around the Public Defender character. I would highly recommend it.

I loved Chris Buckley's book "No Way to Treat a First Lady," (where the First Lady is accused of killing the President). This reminds me of Buckley's book.

Summary: More, please...
Review: When I finished this (much too short) story of murder and sex and greed and...well, it's got just about everything in it, I wanted more, more, more! More stories about the cavalier O'Hara and his colorful plotmates. More stories about other characters O'Hara met when he was doing his "time" at the country club lock-up. And more of the same juice that kept me turning page after page after page to see what ugly heads would arise next and just how O'Hara would handle situations that almost guaranteed he'd end up "sleeping with the fish." It's obvious that Author Jim Ryan knows his way around the judicial system, big government and the underbelly of life, and understands just how tight to weave the tension to keep his readers intrigued throughout. More, please!
