About this listen
A high-profile murder has Sam and her team chasing an elusive killer....
Just back from their anniversary trip to Dewey Beach, there’s no slow roll back to work for the first couple as Sam is immediately thrust into the baffling murder of her friend and colleague, U.S. Attorney Tom Forrester, which has everyone on edge. The FBI wants in on this one, and she’s determined to figure out what happened to Tom before they can take over her investigation as new and unsettling details arise about the crimes involving disgraced former Lieutenant Stahl. A new development sends the investigation in an entirely new direction as Sam goes toe-to-toe with her husband’s uncooperative Attorney General.
In the midst of the hot new case, Sam’s got to put on her first lady hat for the Canadian Prime Minister and his wife, who are in town for the Cappuano administration’s first State Dinner. Once they get through that event, Sam and Nick will finally meet with Nick’s mother, who's asked for a chance to make things right with her son.
With all of that going on, who has time to breathe let alone plan an operation that’ll either snag a killer or end her career?

After I suddenly lose my husband, Patrick, in a senseless shooting, I’m lost in a sea of well-meaning people trying to make the unimaginable seem possible. When a friend of my sister’s connects me to the Wild Widows, I find a group of fellow travelers who understand my new reality in a way no one else in my life ever could. The Wild Widows have one requirement for membership to their group: I must be open to the possibility of a "Chapter Two", which is what they call a second chance at love.

Decent Plot Line
The story wasn't as exciting compared to the other books, but I still enjoyed it. However, narrator doesn't do it for me. Never has. She speaks in a very clipped tone and not much fluctuations vocally between the characters. Little hard to listen to. I love reading the books for myself but time doesn't permit it.

More good stuff from my favorite book couple!!
This is another fantastic installment in this series that I sure hope never ends!! The narration by Eva is amazing as always!
Sam is just so bada$$ makes me wish all First Ladies were like her! And Nick, I mean what is not to love? He is the best! I love how she and Nick love all of their people so much and would do anything for them. Fantastic characters and wonderful storyline as always. Marie Force knows how to keep readers fully invested!

Another winner!
What’s not to love about Nick and Samantha? Each time the series pops into my app. I do a little happy dance. When I see a listening time of 12 hours, instead of feeling overwhelmed that I can’t finish it in one sitting I end up, wishing it was 24 hours. I never want the story to end. I can’t wait to receive the next book in the series.
As far as the narrator, no one could be Samantha. I listen to a book she narrated from another author and had to keep reminding myself that it wasn’t Samantha talking.

Another OMG moment, in the lives of The First Family Series!
As usual, Marie Force, doesn't disappoint her readers with another nonstop action filled adventure of The First Family Series.
Characters are full stop real like your right there with them during the nonstop daily happenings either at The While House, with Sam and Nick's close friendships, the ongoing investigations at the police department and during the investigations Sam and the department do to uncover the interwoven crimes throughout the Capital.
As an avid fan from the first Fatal Series Books to the now First Family Series, its never a dull moment for First Family as they navigate being the First Family.
Sam continues to juggle her job as the Lt. running the Homicide Department, First Lady duties, being a wife, mother, daughter, sister and friend during everyday chaos with a sense of humor.
Narration as always was done well.
Had to laugh with the author's note of oops at the end.
Now, all I have to do is be very patient for the next book.
Would really love not having to wait a whole week later for audible release version. 😉
But, I'm very patient.
Don't forget her Wild Widow's spin off. 😜

Wow!
Marie Force has done it again with Sam and Nick's story. She leaves me wanting more as usual. I can't wait for the next book even though I just finished this one. Sam and Nick have a lot going on with family and their high profile jobs, but their love and respect for each other helps them get through it. I can't believe it's been fourteen years that I've been reading about them. I enjoy Eva Kaminsky's narration as usual.

I love her sass! Love that her husband doesn't hold back on her staying on the force.loce the commorady with her colleagues.
While I do enjoy Eva Kaminsy, I would still like to hear the narration from a male perspective also.
