The Latest Bombshell

Rate this book
Kate Boothe is sitting pretty in Rome, drinking good wine, and trying to take a well-deserved breather from her work as a political consultant in Washington, D.C. Then her business partner, Jack Vanzetti, flies out to tell her that someone has been selling military secrets to the Chinese and that her least-favorite ex, muckraking reporter Lyle Gold, has been fingered as the guilty party. With the country in a state of patriotic panic, nobody is willing to take Lyle’s side. By stepping in to defend him, Vanzetti & Boothe could finally have the big win they need in order to consult on a presidential campaign.

As sharp and irreverent as its heroine—a woman who’s willing to take on the fight of her life armed only with brains, charm, and a couple of bottles of champagne—The Latest Bombshell is a witty, savvy debut.

The basic premise of this book is more interesting than the story itself. Although the book had some potential, it winds up being rather forgetable. Also, I noticed someone compared this to Sammy's Hill. I find that the only similarity is that they both feature female leads set in D.C.

interesting at first, but growing cast of characters and minor players makes it difficult to sort out who is who. Kate's character is not as well developed as I would've liked.

In the style of Sammy's Hill- a quick read with a political backdrop. Unfortunately, lacks the wit and words of Christopher Buckley. But overall, a quick, enjoyable read.
