As preposterous as the concept seems--Eleanor Roosevelt solving a murder mystery while also serving as First Lady, after all--it's actually presented in a thoroughly believable and charming story. Mrs. Roosevelt takes a young murder suspect under her wing and follows assorted clues. All while war is looming. FDR is featured quite prominantly and lends his support to her sleuthing. J. Edgar Hoover is also on hand. Written by their son Elliott Roosevelt, Eleanor and Franklin's personalities shine through. I am sure he enjoyed writing about them this way. A very enjoyable read!

**** Four stars!
