A GREAT MURDER MYSTERY

I really liked this book. It kept you guessing because of the many suspects and it wasn't predictable and I liked the writing style and the story. The Roosevelt's second son was a great mystery author. It was set in 1940, and a prominent senator who was having many affairs was found murdered. I would rate it 4.5 stars.

A Murder With Many Suspects

It is June of 1940, and German troops are nearing Paris. In the White House, concern over the defeat of France is suddenly joined by shock. Senator Gibson excuses himself from a dinner in the State Dining Room and is later found murdered in the deserted East Room. Eleanor Roosevelt immediately goes all out to aid Police and Secret Service in tracking down the murderer. Unfortunately, the Senator's many adulterous affairs had infuriated not only his wife, but also a string of misled women. He also had political enemies willing to kill him. With her usual calm insight, Mrs. Roosevelt sorts out the mass of suspects until she reveals the murderer. Along with the mystery, you also get a picture of goings on in the White House during that momentous time in history. It's always fun to match wits with the First Lady in these mysteries while you watch history being made.
