I read and enjoyed We’ll Meet Again and The Shadow of Your Smile, so I picked this one up, as I was interested to read an MHC book about politicians. I was pretty disappointed. The writing is very flat, not at all exciting or suspenseful like the other two, and the characters are appealing but underdeveloped. I read the first story in full and thought it rather worthless, but I decided to read the second, hoping it would be better. It was so boring I just skipped to the end to learn how it turned out. I moved on to the third and found it so boring I didn’t even bother reading the ending. I don’t know if MHC was on autopilot here or what, but this is probably for her diehard fans only; new readers ought to check out The Shadow of Your Smile to start.
