It's the height of campaign season, and instead of relishing newlywed bliss with her husband Doug Hollingsworth, Capitol Hill staffer Kit Marshall is busy with a tough reelection fight for her boss, member of Congress Maeve Dixon. Before Maeve and her staff--Kit included--leave Washington, D.C. to campaign full time in North Carolina, they have one last fundraising engagement.
On the iconic rooftop of a restaurant overlooking the Capitol and the Washington monument, Kit and her best pal Meg do their best to woo wealthy lobbyists for sizable campaign donations. Everyone's enjoying the evening soiree until a powerful K Street tycoon mysteriously tumbles off the rooftop. Even with claims the fall must be suicide, Detective Maggie Glass and Kit aren't so easily convinced foul play isn't at work. While balancing Doug's mid-life career crisis, Kit must spring into action to discover who killed the notorious Van Parker before Dixon's candidacy sputters, even if it means investigating Meg's handsome new beau, the victim's conniving widow, and a bicycle advocate hell-bent on settling a long-standing grudge. When threatening note is left on Kit's car, warning her to back off the investigation, she knows she's closing in on the true story of what happened.

Review: K STREET KILLING by Colleen Shogan
Reading this enearing series is an education in DC culture. Yes, Virginia, the District of Columbia is "a whole 'nother thing." Fortunately, amidst all the greed, cupidity, egotism, and nonsense, there are some good folks, chief among them our protagonist, Kit Mitchell, her best friend Meg, and Kit' s new hubby, Doug. Kit and Meg are unstoppable amateur sleuths who refuse to be turned aside in their pursuit of justice. When a famous hard-driving lobbyist falls to his death at a fundraiser for Kit and Meg's Congresswoman boss, and Meg becomes a person of interest, sleuthing is essential.
Thank you for the great review!
