Capitol Angst D.C. White
A
seemingly random killer is stalking the streets of Washington DC, with
seemingly no pattern or motive. It is up to Kat Thomas, head of the
homicide department, and her team of detectives and investigators, to
find out who the murderer is. It doesn’t take too many before the
entire populace is up in arms. Kat is having problems of her own,
particularly with the attentions of one of her co-investigators. The
body count rises until they finally break the case that has had all of
DC in a frightening stranglehold.
“Capitol
Angst” was my first foray into political suspense. The research that
went into writing this book was very thorough, and the dialogue was
really well-written. Writing a novel in the present tense is not easy,
but the effect is outstanding. It makes the storyline that much more
frantic and gritty, which is what I think the author was trying to
achieve. That being said, however, I felt there wasn’t enough segue
between scenes; the book was 90% dialogue, and rarely did the scenario
switch without warning. This would be a real five-star book if more
detail was given throughout.
