About this listen

President Tim Connors is slipping badly in the polls and doesn’t stand a chance of being re-elected. Chief of Staff Arthur Locke blames the First Lady, abrasive feminist Congresswoman Rachel Connors.

Locke thinks he has the solution. Wouldn’t it be easier to re-elect a handsome, grieving widower?

When his plan to assassinate the President’s wife goes terribly wrong, Locke sets in motion a chain of events that could allow him eventually to place himself in the presidency.

Hired assassin Vincent Chambers tells Locke, “Killing a president is easy. Getting away with it is the hard part.”

Locke’s wife, Elaine, discovers his plan to kill Rachel and vows to stop him, even if she has to kill the man she once loved with all her heart.

Washington DC is crawling with ambitious characters. There’s the randy Vice-President Dennis Quinn, whose trysts with underage girls make plenty of copy for the tabloids, the slovenly head of the DNC, Arnold Combs, who doesn’t really care who wins, as long as it’s a Democrat, the Assistant Chief of Staff, Ralph Mason, who’s so head over heels in debt that murder for money seems a logical way out.

Secret Service Special Agent Jason Hall, along with the FBI, the CIA, and Arlington Chief of Police Tom Reilly, all sort through the scarce clues, but will any of them find the solution in time to prevent another murder?

Entertaining Story with Top Notch Narration

Deadly Ambition captured my interest in the first chapter. The narration by Shana Gagnon, laden with colorful voices for the different characters, flows great with the prose and engrossed me in the story. I’d recommend this audiobook to anyone.

The narrator was not good.

The narrator did not differentiate between voices. Sounded like a student reading allowed, the voice was unpleasant and there was no inflection. I almost didn’t listen to the book because of the narrator. There was a major flaw in the motivation behind one of the characters decision not to reveal...Made the rest of the plot really weak.
