Captivating in the sense that a former president is writing/imagining about the spouse of the president being tried for murder.
mysterious tense medium-paced

I’m not embarrassed that I read this book 7-7.5 hours.  The story is compelling and the First Gentleman, a former NFL player sounds like a hunk.  

This is my first Summer read and I loved it.

President Madeline Parson Wright is in the middle of crucial, top-secret negotiations that could prevent the U.S. economy from collapsing. The past actions of her husband, former NFL player Cole Wright, could land him in jail and destroy her career. Could the handsome, popular first gentleman really be responsible for the death of an NFL cheerleader that he had dated before his marriage? Those with their own agenda are happy to exploit Cole's situation, but there is one journalist who is determined to uncover the truth, no matter what the cost.

This is the second collaboration between President Clinton and James Patterson that I've read, and I enjoyed them both. Patterson's skill at creating intriguing characters and fast-paced stories, combined with Clinton's insider information about the presidency and the U.S. government add up to an engaging book. Some things are predictable, but there are still some surprises when things are revealed at the end. I enjoyed the multiple points-of-view and short chapters of this fast-paced mystery/thriller. 

I received an advance review copy of this ebook from Little, Brown and Company but my review is voluntary and unbiased.

Each of President Clinton’s fiction books have been fast paced and thrilling. Although this one at times struggle with pacing and could definitely be shorter, it is a thriller. Overall a fun book that could have been edited some more 

I received a free advanced copy of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
