Ebook About A young Congressman stumbles on the powerful political underworld of 1950's D.C. in this "potent thriller" (David Baldacci) and New York Times bestseller from CNN correspondent Jake Tapper. Charlie Marder is an unlikely Congressman. Thrust into office by his family ties after his predecessor died mysteriously, Charlie is struggling to navigate the dangerous waters of 1950s Washington, DC, alongside his young wife Margaret, a zoologist with ambitions of her own. Amid the swirl of glamorous and powerful political leaders and deal makers, a mysterious fatal car accident thrusts Charlie and Margaret into an underworld of backroom deals, secret societies, and a plot that could change the course of history. When Charlie discovers a conspiracy that reaches the highest levels of governance, he has to fight not only for his principles and his newfound political career...but for his life.Book The Hellfire Club (Charlie and Margaret Marder Mystery) Review :
I enjoy and respect Jake Tapper as a journalist and commentator, so this review is hopefully not jaded by ideological mudslinging.The Good: He really captures the ambiance of the McCarthy era and the 50's culture of the educated white middle class (with frank acknowledgement of the racial and gender hate associated with it). It's a good timepiece read for those younger than age 55 or so. I and my memories must be getting old, because Jake (or his assistants) had to do academic research with footnotes to document what he learned about the era! Or perhaps he thought it best to provide the documentation in case he was accused of falsifying the backstory.Even Better: He repeatedly stresses, "This is a work of fiction." Yet it is hard not to see this as a message that 40 years of social and political progress are being washed away.My favorite line, quoting Margaret Chase Smith, "The Four Horseman of Calumny are Fear, Ignorance, Bigotry, and Smear."The Tedious: Way too many dead bodies and dark, stormy nights.The Weak: Stereotypical characters, hopelessly stilted dialogue, Dan Brown pacing of short interspersed action scenes with implausible coincidence and Deus ex machina salvation of the good guys. Also, in the Epilogue, there is a comic-book final interview with a fictional Father Eisenhower to set up the sequels.The Inaccurate: The portrayal of all leftists and socialists of the era as "Commie" pawns and dangerous, violent Soviet spies. Tapper's objection seems to be that only ordinary, conventional, mainstream Democrats got falsely accused of this.The Really Bad: Sophomoric metaphors, such as, "...the rain hitting the pavement sounded like a herd of porterhouses sizzling on the grill."Given the evil, intersecting forces the book portrays well, the sequel really needs to be about the Kennedy assassination. But who dares go there? Jake Tapper’s HELLFIRE CLUB will be any political junkie’s favorite 2018 novel, and stands on par with some of Jeff Greenfield’s best AH work, given the real-life cast of characters (Joe McCarthy, Roy Cohn, JFK, LBJ, RFK, Eisenhower, Estes Kefauver, and more) featured in this D.C. thriller, set in early 1954 and focused on a New York GOP Congressman’s... learning curve... during his first term. Tapper eloquently weaves historical highlights from 1954 (McCarthy’s long-awaited decline, the House gallery shooting, the Kennedys’ closeness with McCarthy and Roy Cohn) to present a page-turner as a first-term do-gooder drives right into the brick wall of Washington’s established interests. The research here is meticulous — beyond the impressive who’s who of 1950s DC, you get a feel for an age where politicians were more highly regarded, veterans were more respected, the press was along for the ride, the ugly head of racism was right out in the open (but lobbyists were still unapologetically lobbying). Tapper weaves a compelling, suspenseful tale that — on its own — would justify inclusion in this year’s literary top-10 lists... but just under the surface (without even a shred of lecturing) is a thoughtful reminder of how little D.C. has changed in the 65 years between the height of McCarthyish and the height of Trumpism — members of the House and Senate (of both parties) were, and still are, doing whatever keeps their seats safe and their donors intact, rather than focusing on the welfare of their constituents or their political parties... and the questions of “How did this happen, and when will this end?”have been asked — and answered — before; for better or worse, the DC establishment is stronger than, and will outlast, any one person who tries to do anyting (helpful OR harmful) that doesn’t fit the plan. Not sure if that’s an optimistic or pessimistic outlook, but Jake Tapper is persuasive in teaching it without the reader even realizing school is in session, since the story itself has so much action, intrigue, and excellent pacing. I’d give this book 7 stars if Amazon had such a rating.
