PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
PI Dana Cutler and attorney Brad Miller, now working as a congressional legal aide, contend with sex scandals, an escaped murderer, and a looming major terrorist attack on U.S. soil in bestseller Margolin's busy third Washington, D.C., thriller (after 2010's Supreme Justice). Cutler is dispatched to Portland, Ore., where Miller's boss, Sen. Jack Carson, has gotten involved with a Middle Eastern seductress, Jessica Koshani, who possesses a DVD showing Carson in a compromising position. Koshani blackmails Carson into returning to D.C., where he's to report to her on what the authorities know about a suicide bombing her employers are plotting. Meanwhile, Miller must keep track of Clarence Little, a serial killer and former client sent to prison in 2008's Executive Privilege, who's been sending Miller cryptically threatening letters since escaping custody in Oregon. Some readers may struggle with the large cast and many scene shifts, but Margolin manages to pull everything together in the end.

Capital Murder
Great reading....will keep you in suspense
What a wild ride
With so many twists and turns, what will happen next. Even the ending leaves the reader wanting to know more. Great job by Margolin to keep you engaged and wondering who’s good and who’s worse than bad.
Didn't get it
Ultimately, the book got interesting with about 30 pages left. It skipped around so much that I had a real hard time following it and the book seemed to be written with so much filler just to fill pages that it was really hard for me to read. I'm one of those that can't start another book until I'm finished with what I'm reading and this one took me about 4 weeks. It was almost a chore to read it.
