Jane Cox is married to the President of the United States. They've just thrown a birthday party for Jane's niece Willa. All is find and dandy until after the party when Willa is kidnapped and Jane's sister is murdered during the abduction at their family home.

That's when Sean & Michelle enter the picture. We learn that Sean knows the first lady from a past incident, which is why he is asked into this investigation. Sean & Michelle find opposition from other government agencies, but that doesn't stop them from pursuing the truth.

This story moves along really fast and I even found myself liking the antagonist in the novel, and if you read it, you'll know why. There's also a side story involving Michelle's Mother & Father, but I won't get into that.

David Baldacci has done a great job in making us care about the Sean King & Michelle Maxwell characters once again. These two are great together and they have great chemistry.

If you've enjoyed this series thus far, then you won't be disappointed by "First Family". Even if you haven't read the previous books in this series, you can still enjoy this without feeling like you've missed out on something, but I highly recommend that you should read the previous three books, as they are pretty entertaining as well.
