Get your political thriller fix with State of Terror

I hope you had a chance to pick up Immersed in the View, Book #4 in the Parks Pat Mysteries series this weekend! If you didn’t, there may be some other books in my blog post that are still on sale. And, of course, the Parks Pat books are still available at the regular price.

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme. Read the rules and more teasers at The Purple Booker. Anyone can play along.

I am currently reading State of Terror, by Hillary Rodham Clinton and Louise Penny. As you can well imagine, this power team draws on Clinton’s political knowledge and Penny’s experience in writing crime fiction to put together a political thriller that is both detail-rich and keep the plot moving forward.

Bill Clinton has written two political thrillers with James Patterson. Hillary Rodham Clinton has also published a number of memoirs and a couple of books with Chelsea Clinton about strong women. Chelsea Clinton has written a number of children’s books on women in various roles. That’s quite a range of work between the three of them!

He also knew, as did she, that he would not survive the night.
