the Inner Circle by Brad Meltzer


I have ever read anything by Meltzer until I listened to this book, but I definitely want to read more. On the back of the book there were quotes from people and publications comparing him to Grisham, Turow and Baldacci. I personally thought he wrote more like Dan Brown in The Da vinci Code and Angels and Demons. Our hero in this book is Beecher. He was your basic nerd in school. One pleasant memory he has kept through the years is that of Clementine. She was a tough girl - and he had admired her. There was even a kiss that happened between those two - and all these years later Beecher still remembers. Today Beecher is an archivist who works in the National Archives where the sitting president likes to come once a week to relax and look at old documents and books. This week it happens to be the same day that he is meeting Clementine! Yes, after all of those years he gets a chance to make a new first impression and he is nervous. She is the one who contacted him (on Facebook, of course!) because she wants him to help her find out who her father was. It was a political thriller that was full of historical trivia that I just love! It was a story of old crushes, friendships and of the age-old question - "Who can you trust?". Check it out!
