A Christmas Wedding by Andrew M. Greeley ~ The third book featuring the "O'Malley's of Chicago>" (following A Midwinter's Tale and Younger Than Springtime) -- Chuckie O'Malley, having just been thrown out of Notre Dame, decides to go to the University of Chicago, thought by many of his co-religionists to be a hotbed of atheism and communism. There he finds Rosemarie, his beautiful foster sister who gave him his first kiss. Though Chuckie thinks of himself as dull, Rosemarie knows better and goads him into a career of infinite promise and gratification, to say nothing of fame and glory. Love blossoms between the two, but she carries within her a soul-destroying secret that eventually threatens her life and the lives of those who love her. Greeley paints a fascinating picture of life in the U.S. after WWII, the returning veterans, the women they loved, and their children, the baby boomers. A must for Greeley fans. The Fifth Angel By Tim Green ~ When his teenage daughter becomes the victim of a brutal attack by a sexual predator, a man with a long history of sexual crimes who had been allowed back on the streets, respected attorney Jack Ruskin decides to take matters into his own hands to ensure that justice is finally delivered. No Way to Treat a First Lady by Christopher Buckley ~ The lurid sexual excesses that dominated presidential politics in the late '90s provide plenty of comic fodder for Buckley's latest satire, which doubles as a legal thriller that begins when President Ken MacMann is found dead in bed next to his wife after a vigorous night in a White House guest room with his latest mistress, film star Babette Van Anka. First lady Elizabeth MacMann whose tabloid nickname is Lady Bethmac is first on the suspect list, largely because she bopped Ken with an antique spittoon after his latest infidelity, leaving a bruise that spelled out Paul Revere's name on the late presidential forehead. Beth quickly hires an expensive, successful legal gun named Boyce "Shameless" Baylor, who also happens to be an old flame, and Baylor wades into the sordid mess, using the well-established tactics of tabloid trials to steer his client toward reasonable doubt. But Beth gets cocky after his initial success and insists on taking the stand to clear her reputation, a tactic that backfires so badly that Baylor is forced to resort to jury tampering to try to force a mistrial. Buckley has to use some obvious narrative cliches to get Baylor and MacMann out of the mess after they rekindle their romance, but the good news is that this book is more plot driven than Buckley's earlier satires, making it more coherent and effective over the long haul. The political humor is first-rate as usual, as Buckley has plenty of fun with the slimy, silly mess that is Beltway politics. This is one of his better efforts, which should keep Buckley on the "A" list of American satirists. I DO NOT use stock photos - the item PICTURED is the ACTUAL item you are bidding on & will receive.
