A few months ago, I heard from one of my friends that her dad had written a book. Obviously, I was intrigued and I decided to pick up a copy and see how it was. Normally, when things like this come from people who you know, you can expect them to be fine, but nothing special. This was not like that. "In Sheep's Clothing," written by L.D. Beyer, completely blew me away.
In the book, a Secret Service agent, Matthew Ritcher, and the United States president are thrown into a whirlwind game of survival in the unknown. When the two survive the explosives on Air Force One, largely due to Ritcher's quick reflexes, they quickly realize that their lives are still at stake and they uncover a plan to threaten the presidency. Throughout the book, Ritcher and David Kendall, the president, continuously surprise the reader with their quick thinking, incredible ideas, and the depth of their characters.
Everything about "In Sheep's Clothing" kept me interested and at the edge of my seat until the last page. The main character, Matthew Ritcher, is well thought out and he had a captivating point of view. From his love for his job to his dedication to the president, Ritcher is a driven and exciting character. David Kendall, the president, juxtaposes his commitment to his country and his new position against his love of and fear for his family who are alone in the White House. The two use their joint experiences and knowledge to get each other out of a dangerous situation.
Overall, "In Sheep's Clothing" is a fast-paced, engrossing political thriller that I would recommend to anyone. Just wait until I talk about the sequel.
