If you're both a political junkie and an mystery junkie, this one's for you

I recently read the paperback version, and thought it was fun. It provides a novel (is this a pun?) insight into the workings of Capitol Hill in an entertaining, mystery genre. New Senator Norrie Gorzack from nearby Pennsylvania tries to simultaneously learn how to navigate the halls of the Congress and solve a murder therein. Not surprisingly, she does both with great verve and panache. Murderers and political opponents, take notice!
