About this listen
Nicolle Wallace's third riveting insider Washington novel tells the story of single day in the life of America's 45th President, Charlotte Kramer.
The day commences before sunrise with more than a dozen news crews "embedded" with the president, vice president and the White House senior staff to chronicle a typical day at the center of American political power. While the president is delivering a speech in downtown Washington, D.C., the day takes an unexpected and terrifying turn when multiple terrorist attacks are reported from five different U.S. cities. With the cameras and press corps closely watching her every move, the president navigates the ongoing threat to the nation she loves and has vowed to protect and defend. The explosive events of the day force President Kramer to confront long-simmering tensions among her senior staff and within her immediate family.

Story
Packed with new reporting, Tired of Winning: Donald Trump and the End of the Grand Old Party tracks Trump’s improbable journey from disgraced and defeated former president to the dominant force, yet again, in the Republican Party. From his exile in Mar-a-Lago, Donald Trump has become more extreme, vengeful, and divorced from reality than he was on January 6, 2021. His meddling damaged the GOP’s electoral prospects and his legal troubles were mounting. Yet he re-emerged as the frontrunner for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, and the president-elect.

Story
Few figures in American politics have seen more and said less than Mitt Romney. An outspoken dissident in Donald Trump’s GOP, he has made headlines in recent years for standing alone against the forces he believes are poisoning the party he once led. Romney was the first senator in history to vote to remove from office a president of his own party. When that president’s supporters went on to storm the US Capitol, Romney delivered a thundering speech from the Senate floor accusing his fellow Republicans of stoking insurrection.

Story
Donald Trump will be president again, whether he is on the ballot or not. That is because Trumpism is overtaking the Republican Party and will mount a vigorous comeback, potentially in the hands of a savvier successor. This prophecy will come true, according to Miles Taylor, if we do not learn the lessons of the recent past. With the 2024 election approaching, the formerly “Anonymous” official is back with bombshell revelations and a sobering national forecast. Taylor predicts what could happen inside “Trump 2.0,” the White House of a more competent and more formidable copycat.

Story
When a box from her mother showed up on Katy Tur’s doorstep, months into the pandemic and just as she learned she was pregnant with her second child, she didn’t know what to expect. The box contained thousands of hours of video—the work of her pioneering helicopter journalist parents. They grew rich and famous for their aerial coverage of Madonna and Sean Penn’s secret wedding, the Reginald Denny beating in the 1992 Los Angeles riots, and O.J. Simpson’s notorious run in the white Bronco.

The January 6th attack is an unprecedented crime in American history. Sprawling and openly political, it can't be handled by the traditional rules and norms of law enforcement—threatening the very idea of justice and its role in society. A mass of online tipsters—"sedition hunters"—have mobilized, simultaneously providing the FBI with valuable intelligence. In this work of extraordinary reportage, Ryan Reilly gets to know would-be revolutionaries, obsessive online sleuths, and FBI agents, and shines a light on a justice system that's straining to maintain order in our polarized country.

In 1919, Delano, Georgia, appoints its first chief of police. Honest and hardworking, the new chief is puzzled when young men start to disappear. But his investigation is ended by the fatal blast from a shotgun. Delano's second chief-of-police is no hero, yet he is also disturbed by what he sees in the missing-persons bulletins. In 1969, when Delano's third chief takes over, the unsolved disappearances still haunt the police files.

Interesting story - awful narrator
Is there anything you would change about this book?
The narrator
How did the narrator detract from the book?
The narrator attempts to do strong male and female voices. Both are poorly done and come through as confusing and phony. It exhausted me to listen.
Any additional comments?
I like Nicole Wallace in her real-life role as a political commentator...even though I am a Democrat. Therefore I bought the book since I believe her view will be accurate and insightful. I can only slug my way through, however, as the narrator is awful. Ms. Wallace has been poorly served.

Great Pool Book
Love Nicole and wanted to support her book, I hope it's a premonition that we'll finally have a Lady President. The terror attacks felt very real, great characters

Lackluster story
The characters were not well developed in the story about the first woman U.S. President who also experienced devastating terrorist attacks. The story was interesting however it was hard to stay involved because there were too many characters that were underdeveloped.

I couldn't turn it off.
The first two books were interesting and fun. This one got to me immediately and never let go. I was yelling at the characters about the mistakes they were making and hoping for good outcomes. I look forward to hearing other books by this author.

great read!!
I read all three in the series and enjoyed them all. I'm a Democrat and wondered if it would be a bit problematic for me since the author is definitely a Republican, but it wasn't a problem at all. The issues were so believable and I couldn't stop reading! very entertaining and very real sense issues dealt with.

really loved her characters and all the intrigue
read all three of these books in three days and really enjoyed all three.
she really shares an astonishing amount of juicy detail from her years working for the bushes and on the mccain campaign and the nightmare of trying to get sarah palin ready for such an important role.
really satisfying to read.
