I have read all of Alex Kava's books, loved them all, and couldn't wait until her next book arrived! Whitewash was terrible. I just couldn't get into it and after a few chapters, donated the book to the library.
Guess I'll wait for her 'usual' mysteries.

What's to say about the book ? Mrs. Kava tried to write something like a political thriller but in my opinion it didn't work out.
The plot as it self is a good one but honestly, I missed a lot of details. It seems like the publisher just shortened the whole story which lacks information for the reader.

1.0 out of 5 stars A disappointing book, June 26, 2007

This book lacks several things: well written characterization, coherent plotting and professional writing. You never get to really know the main character, Sabrina Galloway, which is why it is hard to care about her. All of the characters were like cardboard cutouts. The manner in which the story was presented was disjointed and lacked any discernible flow. Plot pieces flew around like they were in a blender and some of them just didn't matter or add to the story. Many of these bits were left hanging with no explanation of their relavance. Some characters were so thinly written that you forgot who they were a few pages after they appeared. Then when they reappeared, you wondered who they were and what they meant to the story. This book was too many plot-pieces in search of a unifying whole. Save your money.
