As a former Washington bureaucrat in a previous life, I don't read many political novels because most of them get the details wrong or fail to describe the sausage-making that goes on when politics gets done. Pharmaceutical, the novel from W.M.J. Kreucher, brings the real Washington to life in gripping fashion.

The book would make a great conspiracy thriller movie. A corporate CEO and the First Lady plot to secretly dose the unsuspecting American public with untested drugs in their reckless pursuit of greed and power. The only one standing in their way is a loyal company employee, Diane McMichael, who starts asking dangerous questions.

Pharmaceutical reads like a screenplay, too--with lots of action and dialogue but relatively little narrative. Its 281 pages fly by. This isn't highbrow art like Updike or Wolfe, but rather a carnival ride that would be great for a long plane ride or a holiday weekend.

Rating: 3.5/5 stars.

This novel was an easy read - I finished it within 24 hours. The story-line, although not strong, was believable. I enjoyed the information on computer technology which came across as authentic. However, the undoing of the novel was the missing ingredient of motive. There is of course the explanation that power and greed were at the heart of the conspiracy. However, the main conspirator already wielded a vast amount of power, possessed wealth and apparently received no financial gain from the operation. So why? One can guess, surmise or hypothesize, but the reader should have been informed why. And that is why this is a 2.5 out of 5 from me - a generous 3
I found this book hard to put down. It draws you in and keeps you engaged throughout. I think the characters were interesting and well-developed. I really like the whole "medical mystery" genre, and this book is scary in that it could very well be true. I listened to the Audible audio edition narrated by Samuel Hoke. I thought his narration was good and easy to listen to. I really liked this book and am looking forward to another in the series.
