Review: All but the ending
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 09 30, 2012
Capitol Offense begins with the heroin, Lacy Blair on the run and the plot thickens from there.  The author does a good job fleshing out Lacy's character but comes up short with the rest of the cast.  We hardly know her lawyer friend Mike who she calls to come to her rescue.  The bad guys are almost believable except for Pete who is feared for what he does and Bolen tells us little about him.There are moments of excitement and hope that Lacy will kept safe but these are not enough to bring the book above three stars.  For 3/4 of the book I was entertained but the finish was a looser.  The FBI agents did hardly anything.  McNally's change of heart was good but the end for the two main bad guys was poorly done. The ending seemed to be thrown together to make a deadline. It could have been much better.  I also think the book could have been a bit longer. This author shows promise and let's hope her future books bear this out.
