***FYI: I don't do book summaries, I only record my thoughts on the books I've read.
Much better though still not as good as the first two and the fifth book. Still dealing with Maxwell's "issues" which are a bit annoying and out of place in the story. I did like reading about the lives of the fictional first family though, that was interesting and helped propel the book along.

I hadn't read any of this series for a while - but started watching the TV version. The story is a bit far fetched, but remains believable throughout. The couple detect as they should and have a life too. I think I'll be catching up on the series.
Another great one from Baldacci. Although, I've read enough of his stuff now that I definitely do have most of it figured out by the end. Although this one still had a few suprises as to exactly how it all panned out.\n\nStrong characters. Compelling story.
well well after reading his the last man standing and split second i think it was a great let down by him i would really recommend that if this is your first baldacci book then go ahead read it and if a fan of him then...............!
First Family is a great entry in the King-Maxwell universe.
It continues the protagonists' character arc development that we saw in Simple Genius and brings it to a conclusion. In addition, the story is excellent with its themes around revenge and forgiveness, both the in the main and side plots. I liked the satisfying resolution to both Michelle's trip to the past as well as the main plot line concerning the first family.
The other characters, including the nominal 'villains' were well detailed out as well being sympathetic. One ends up rooting for them by the time the story comes to an end. Shades of House of Cards also permeate the plot line (without getting too much into spoiler territory).
Overall, a great book.
