An ace reporter investigates the suspicious death of her best friend's baby in this #1 New York Times bestselling political thriller of murder, passion, and intrigue in the White House. Barrie Travis is not famous; she's just a damn good reporter stuck at a low-budget television station. Then, her old friend -- now America's First Lady -- asks her to investigate the death of her baby. Stunned by grief after the loss of her infant son, the President's wife hints that her child didn't really die of SIDS; in reality, he may have been murdered. Blind to everything but finding the truth, Barrie delves into the private lives of the president and his wife and uncovers dark and terrible secrets that will test her ethics, her patriotism, and her courage. With the help of Gray Bondurant, a mysterious former presidential aide, this story could topple the presidency and change the course of history. In this fast-moving tale from a master of suspense, Barrie must fight powerful forces that want nothing more than to see the scandalous past -- and a certain young reporter -- dead and buried. Review: One of the best - I don't read books twice - there are too many adventures out there to ride down the same road again. Lately, I've settled for okay stories, written okay. I know certain authors are fabulous in weaving a story, and even then - either you've read everything an author has written, or their books become repetitive; so lately - I've settled for just something to read and have been disappointed. I've read so many books, and desperate for a good story and really good writing - I went back to books I've read. I'll look at the title and all recall is that was really good. I'll finish a 20 something book series and I want more. So this one I read again and it is beyond fabulous. I want more of Gray. I want more of Harry (Harry Bosch series). Emilie Richards wrote about an Irishman's story shoveling ore from the belly of ships in Early America in one of the northern states - it starts and ends with letters of a priest - Patrick, I think. Five People You Meet in Heaven. Rainwater. Look for these books. You won't be disappointed. I always wanted to be a writer or journalist - I knew that would never happen because there are so many more talented people out there spitting out stories much more successfully than I could produce once. Thank you Sandra Brown, and Michael Connelly, and those of you out there who can write a book. A really good book. It's like magic. Review: The meeting does not go as Berrie would have liked, but her interests are piqued - EXCLUSIVE by Sandra Brown. The story takes place in Washington D.C. and centers at the highest levels of our federal government. Berrie Travis , a gorgeous, warmhearted and at times naïve investigative reporter for a small local TV station receives a call from the first lady. Travis is doing a report on SIDS and the president’s wife who recently lost a 3-month old son to SIDS wants to talk with her. The meeting does not go as Berrie would have liked, but her interests are piqued, something is not right, something is troubling her. From this meeting the plot spirals, sometimes aimlessly through one catastrophe to another involving a sleazy, narcissistic and dishonest president as well as several corrupt members of his White House staff. Brown does a superb job of developing her characters. After a few pages you are thinking right with them and can often guess their next move. The plot often veers off in strange and unrealistic directions; but, hey—this is fiction—and Brown makes the digressions seem almost real for the reader. Brown, being a romance novelist in her early career can’t pass up an opportunity to slip in several obligatory love scenes for good measure. This is not a deep or complicated novel; it is a light, quick and enjoyable read. I recommend the book and rate it a strong 4.

Loved this book.
This is an older book and I loved re reading it. Loved the suspense level and the high level of corruption. Loved Barrie and Gray and that they got their happy ever after. Barrie did get her exclusive and loved how we get the biggest shock at the end. I highly recommend this book.

Murder In The White House?
I think this was the best Sandra Brown book I have read. The plot was beyond intricate. Barrie Travis ( a news reporter with a slightly tarnished rep),interviews the first lady of the USA who tells her a story that could be the greatest story of her career or a disaster. The first lady intimates that the recent death of her infant son may not be due to SIDS as reported but rather murder.Barrie tries to find out the truth. She is aided by Gary Bondurant(former marine and secret service agent) who may have romantic ties to the first lady. One of the prime suspects is the President himself David Merritt. Needless to say there is a lot of cover up and political intrigue involved not to mention a blossoming relationship between Barrie and Gary. The denouement was a mind blowing. Well worth the read.

interesting read. lots of action
It was a great story with lots of twists and turns. if she had left out the pages and pages of unnecessary sex scenes, i would have rated it higher. She is a good writer and does not need to trash up her books. I almost quit reading the book but skipped over the sex filled pages and read on. It is a shame she thinks her readers need a sexual romp to enjoy her books. She is much better writer then that.

Superspannend
Ich fand das Buch von vorne bis hinten spannend. Sandra Brown hat hier einen echt guten Thriller abgeliefert, der alles beinhaltet: politische Machtspielchen, Manipulation von Menschen, Helden, Opfer, Machtmenschen, erotische Spannung (nicht zu viel, genau richtig) und nichts ist, wie es scheint... Ich muss auch sagen, es ist definitiv eines ihrer besten! Das Buch hat mir sehr gut gefallen. Vor allem den Schluß....

What an ending!
I read this over two days, totally intrigued! Characters were interesting, especially given recent history. I thought it was neatly and somewhat predictably wrapped up...then the epilogue surprised me! In retrospect the clues were there and I missed them, so I won't spoil it for new readers. Great read!
