Vanessa Johnson Rossi’s dream is to work at the White House. Not as the leader of the free world, but as chief of staff, overseeing the executive office of the president. As an assistant working at Buderwood Hills City Hall, she finds herself getting closer to realizing her dream when a plum position becomes available that would put her a step closer working directly for the mayor who has … personal connections to the White House. But Vanessa’s hopes are dashed when her best friend, Penelope Newhouse, lands the coveted job. However, when Vanessa discovers Penelope murdered less than a hundred feet from the office she dreamed of occupying, her disappointment turns into devastation.
Detective Rachel Storme and her team are put on the case and she soon finds herself delving into the underbelly of politics in search of the killer. The clues point to a litany of suspects, including the mayor. As usual, Detective Storme is determined to solve this case—a case so chock-full of dark and sinister twists and turns, it has her questioning her own competence.

Held my interest, however did not like the fact that a character not integral to the story was the killer
Revenge, murder over something that happened yrs earlier. There are sev twists and turns that keep you turning the pages to see what is going on. A very interesting and enjoyable read
It was a good storyline but it was a little slow to read.
Lots of red herrings, but the reader will be quite surprised with the outcome. An interesting parallel between the two women most closely connected to the murder.
Good story, stilted dialogue.
Did not think much of this book
Sloppy editing, scattered unnecessary commas, other, minor but annoying distractions.
Great who done it!! Really good read.
I could not put it down! It was at the same time aggravating, terrifying, and confusing.
