Title: The President’s Henchman
Author: Joseph Flynn
Review: This is
the first book I have read by this author and I was captivated by both his
writing and storytelling style. The main character is the president's husband
who is a retired policeman. That was
sufficient to catch my interest and read the book.
There are several
subplots running concurrently and the author moves between them without leaving
the reader wondering what is happening. I
found it difficult to put the book down as I was so engrossed in the story
being weaved together piece by piece. He
made the AFOSI Special Agent seem completely real and play an interesting part
in the overall plot. I would highly recommend this book and look forward to
reading my next Joseph Flynn novel. I give this book a five star rating.
Thanks Frank for this
review.

Why I Read
this Title: It sounded interesting.
Synopsis: According to the polls, it's only a matter of
time - and not that long a time - before the United States elects its first
female president. Which will make her husband - what? Well, if he's the ex-cop
who solved the murder of the president's first husband and brought the killers
to justice ... and if he's not the kind of guy to stand on formality ... and if
he doesn't want to be the head of the FBI ... and if he takes out a license and
becomes the first private eye to live in the White House ... That would make
him The President's Henchman. Jim McGill's first case is to find out who is
stalking a member of the White House press corps, before that stalker turns the
tables on McGill and maybe even threatens the president herself. He also has to
be a shadow advisor to a young Air Force investigator who is looking into a
he-said she-said charge of adultery leveled against a female colonel working at
the Pentagon, a case with the potential to derail the new president's
administration before it has a chance to begin.
