State of TerrorState of Terror by Hillary Rodham Clinton

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I'm a big fan of Louise Penny, so I preordered this and was excited to read it. And after the first 10 pages, I was worried; the main character is a women Secretary of State who's coming in after the previous President made a big mess of things, and I wondered whether the whole book was a sort of wish-fulfillment exercise. But the book gets going quickly, and while there were a few eye-rolling moments it's well-written and compelling. (and in the acknowledgements Clinton says that the main character was based on someone else; my bad!)
