#18 ~ First Family

What a tangled web we weave...and the bad guys aren't always who they seem, is the moral of #18 First Family by David Baldacci {whose name I can't seem to remember}.  A great page turner & the fourth in the King & Maxwell series.  I really like these characters & the story that Baldacci has created for them.  I don't think I can bring myself to watch the TV show {that was cancelled} because I really like the characters I've got in my head!
This story is about the First Family, duh, who have risen to power through the sheer will and cunning of the First Lady.  Evil deeds always have a way of coming out... and as in any good story...truth wins in this one too.  Another tale of the choices we make in life and their everlasting consequences. SPOILER ALERT:  They finally hook up in this one...

Quotes:
p80 ~ Keep on reading, Gabriel.  Got to be prepared.  The world will give you a chance, but that's all.  The rest comes from you.  You blow it you blow it.

p264 ~ But then there was still the fear.  And it was metastasizing right now.
