Blind Trust by Barbara Boxer
2.0
It’s been a long time since I’ve read a thriller…so it’s hard for me to say if my disappointment with “Blind Trust” is with the book itself or with the genre. As much as I applaud Senator Boxer’s body of work…this book wouldn’t be what I would consider a great achievement.
The characters are barely disguised – their real-life counterparts very visible beneath the pen names. The plot also seems ripped from today’s headlines…but the behind the scenes glimpse of the Senator’s staff was interesting.
As a book to read on a plane or while sitting by a pool, this might work, but much to my dismay, I can’t say much more about it than that. I would probably pick up Senator Boxer’s next book – but might choose to get it from a library.
