Synopsis (from Amazon):
Recently elected President Richard Monroe—populist, controversial, and divisive—is at the center of an increasingly polarized Washington, DC. Never has the partisan drama been so tense or the paranoia so rampant. In the midst of contentious political turf wars, the White House chief of staff is found dead in his house. A tenacious intern discovers a single, ominous clue that suggests he died from something other than natural causes, and that a wide-ranging conspiracy is running beneath the surface of everyday events: powerful government figures are scheming to undermine the rule of law—and democracy itself. Allies are exposed as enemies, once-dependable authorities fall under suspicion, and no one seems to be who they say they are. The unthinkable is happening. The Deep State is real. Who will die to keep its secrets and who will kill to uncover the truth?
One (or more) Sentence Summary: I drove Saturday from SW Ohio to Decatur, Illinois for my son's hockey game and listen to Deep State for the whole 5 hours (I listen to audiobooks at the fastest speed). I have made this drive two other times and this was by far the most entertaining!
Amazing story and the end....WOW! I never saw it coming. Fast paced, great characters, plot against the government with twists and turns is my kind of book. Deep State would make a great movie! I can't wait for the second book, Savage Road to come out. I can't even imagine what adventure Chris Hauty will take us on. Amazing first book!
The narrator did a great job with all the different characters too!
Now I need to find a book to keep me entertained for the drive back home!
Would I Read Other Books by the Author: Ready to read Savage Road now! Can't wait for it to come out.
