I have tried to come up with a way to make things simpler for myself when it comes to choosing my next novel to share. This is what I have come up with.
I am starting with the first author on *this* bookshelf and…
now I am moving on to Jeffrey Archer and Shall We Tell the President?
I have read numerous books by Jeffrey Archer and never hesitate to pick up another one when I see it.
Shall We Tell the President by Jeffrey Archer
MY FRIDAY 56
“Emergency over, son?”
“Yes,” March said, lying.
.
“Nothing at all.” Another lie.Was he sounding too unconcerned? “We just can’t find out which bar he’s in.”
(56% of a hardcover published in 1977)
MY BOOK BEGINNINGS
The United States had for the first time in its history produced two brothers to hold the most coveted position in American political life.
His hand still resting on the Duay Bible, the same book on which the Thirty-fifth President had taken the oath, the book which had belonged to their grandmother, the Fortieth President smiled at the Forty-third First Lady. It was the end of one struggle and the beginning of another.
SYNOPSIS
After years of great sacrifice and deep personal tragedy, Florentyna Kane’s has finally become the first woman president in America. But on the very day that she is sworn into office, powerful forces are already in motion to take her life.
The FBI investigates thousands of false threats every year. This time, a reliable source has tipped them off about an assassination attempt. One hour later, the informant and all but one of the investigating agents are dead. The lone survivor: FBI Special Agent Mark Andrews. Now, only he knows when the killers will strike. But how can he alone unravel a ruthless conspiracy—in less than one week? The race to save the first woman president begins now…

I like the cover. I’d probably read the blurb before nabbing it though. I’ve read other books by him but not this one. Intrigued already:)
How did ya’ll do in Biloxi? Wish I could have went!
A road trip is always a good thing. 🙂 My copy of the book is from 1977. LOL
When I saw the title, I thought I had read this one but the description doesn’t sound familiar. It sounds really good. My 56 this week comes from No Mercy by Lori Armstrong – a gritty mystery set in South Dakota. Happy reading!
I love mysteries and have family that live in South Dakota, though I have never been there. Thanks for dropping in, Kathy.
Somehow I’ve never read anything by this author, but I know I’ll have to now.
I like your Dean mini-figure! 🙂

I love mini Dean too. 🙂 I was lucky to have won him in a giveaway.
Lucky you! 🙂
Thanks, Lauren.
I’m not sure I’ve read any Jeffrey Archer though he’s been on my TBR for quite some time. This does sound like an interesting one. I haven’t read political intrigue in awhile but it sounds fun!
I enjoy political intrigue and wonder how much is going on in real life that we don’t know about. Truth can be stranger than fiction. lol Have a wonderful weekend, Katherine.
Of course I want to read a book about the first woman US President. But I’m in a contrary mood today, and wonder if the author titled it that way because the Pres was a woman. Would the staff, security etc have even considered that question if the President was a man?
Hmmm. I didn’t really think of it that way. I figured they were trying to give her plausible deniability. 🙂 Thanks for popping in, LuAnn. Happy reading.
I’ve never read this author before, but then again, I don’t read much political fiction. Hope you love it though!
Happy weekend!
Not really my type of read.
That’s okay, Jennifer. Thanks for checking it out and happy reading.
