Fatal Legislation
By: Ellen Butler

This is the second book in the Karina Cardinal Mystery Series. This is a fantastic political mystery the features action, suspense, drama and of course, an FBI investigation. This book is a complete page turner that definitely is intense at parts and really sucked me in.
Karina Cardinal is a lawyer who is not working as a lobbyist. She has a new boyfriend who is also an FBI agent. Karina is in the wrong place and the wrong time and ends up being a a person of interest in a murder investigation. Karina is determined to not only prove her innocence but also find out what is going on. She doesn’t want to become the next victim.
These characters are amazingly well written – they have flaws and depth to them. They really seem like 3 dimensional people, not just characters on a page. And the story is told with such craftsmanship. As much as the story kept me on the edge of my seat – I wanted to solve the mystery before Karina did – I also didn’t want it to end. I definitely recommend reading this book – it will not disappoint!
