The Honorable(?) James Lester

Parlimentary elections are just around the corner. James Lester is the leader of the his party which is far ahead in polls. He is all but certain to be the next Prime Minister. Then there is an accusation of sexual affair. Lester denies it, but the evidence is strong. Is the accuser emotionally disturbed?, part of a frame-up?, or is golden boy Lester a liar? The story is told in a series of reports, diary entries, and newspaper articles - a very effective technique for this kind of story. The main viewpoint is that of Linda Tandy, the daughter of a newspaper editor who supports and is trying to clear Lester's name, and Linda, needless to say, is in love with Lester. We see Linda's emotions rise up when there is new evidence for Lester and then plummet as even more damning evidence against him surfaces. Nicely written, well-plotted novel, with good strong characters. As a bonus there is a clever "locked room" gimmick.
