3.0 out of 5 stars Mediocre but readable, September 13, 2010

I had found Margaret Truman's other books plodding in both narrative and dialogue; but this one, starring the "Mac and Annie" romantic detecting team, was pretty readable, and I will seek out others featuring these characters.

This book was published in 1989; and I have to say that it was initially disconcerting, reading a book in which cell-phones & the Internet had yet to be invented -- and Sammy Davis, Jr and the Soviet Union are both still alive.

4.0 out of 5 stars It's fun to compare with current politicians as well!, August 10, 2002

...

Margaret Truman has woven together her knowledge of Washington
politics and a great mystery in "Murder at the Kennedy Center."
And she sure knows how to interweave a complicated plot. As soon
as Mac agrees to take a ace, he runs into countless problems:
Senator Ewald, it seems, has not be as...
his political supporters might believe; ...Soon a South American dictator and a
conservative evangelist muddy the waters even more.

As Mac delves deeper into the mystery, he learns more about his
friend than perhaps he had wanted to know. In a short period of
time, he has a long list of suspects!

Truman has done an excellent job of creating vivid characters and
developing a plot that will keep you alert. She has also managed
to mirror a number of contemporary politicians and headlines in
this novel; I think you'll have fun deciding who is being
modeled.

4.0 out of 5 stars Combines murder and political intrique, July 15, 2000

By 

Patricia Lavins - See all my reviews

This review is from: Murder at the Kennedy Center (Capital Crime Mysteries) (Mass Market Paperback)

The description of a Democratic party gala is described with the intimacy of one who has actually attended such an affair. It is for this reason that the reader trusts the author in the other relevant portions of the plotting and structure of this well-told tale of mayhem in our nation's capital. This is a fine addition to the author's stunning series of mystery novels using the backdrop of the great institutions of Washington, D. C.
