Book of the Week: The Latest Bombshell

The Latest Bombshell by Michele Mitchell is a good book mostly based with the main character, Kate Boothe, working as a political consultant in D.C. The book is about her taking on the case of changing the public opinion against Lyle Gould, who is being accused of being a traitor selling secrets to the Chinese. He is innocent and Kate tries to not just help clear his name, but discover who really was the traitor. It is an overall interesting book, but the plot does sometimes move slow. There is also a sequel to this book called Our Girl in Washington. I read this book years ago and did not even realize their was a book that came before it. Nor did I realize I was reading a book in the same series as Our Girl in Washington until I began reading the book and the characters seemed familiar. I remember enjoying Our Girl in Washington more than this book, but I also remember the characters being a little confusing and I now realize that is because it is a sequel to The Latest Bombshell. Basically I recommend both The Latest Bombshell and Our Girl in Washington and reading them in order. If you at least somewhat enjoy The Latest Bombshell than I think you will even further enjoy Our Girl in Washington because it seems that the plot moves a little faster by not getting bogged down in creating the characters.
