This was a fun book to read with a lot of lol moments. It was basically a satire on life in Washington DC pulling no punches at the politics, sex, government agencies, the media, and especially the legal community and its attorneys. The book was written in 2002 and is obviously a takeoff on the Clinton white house. The president in this case is a former war hero who has untold dalliances with a myriad of women. One night after such an affair in the Lincoln bedroom, he returns to bed with the first lady and is found dead in the morning. But how did he die? Well, the first lady, Beth, is charged with his murder by throwing an antique silver spittoon at the president causing a brain hemorrhage. This leads to the "trial of the millennium" presided over by the only judge that was not recluded from the trial. Beth's attorney is an old lover who she was formerly engaged to named Boyce "Shameless" Baylor, who will go to any extent to win a case, legal or otherwise.
This one was really over the top and is filled with political humor and situations that could well apply to the current Trump administration. I would mildly recommend this but for me it was maybe a little too much over the top.
