An engaging story of conspiracy involving Washington and a bootleg distillery.
Many thanks to Greenleaf Book Group and to NetGalley for providing me with a galley in exchange for my honest opinion.

I wanted to read this book but due to some unforeseen circumstances, I was unable to download it in time and therefore could not read it. And now as I am submitting this form and I cannot do it without putting in a star rating, keeping it neutral I am giving it a 3 because I was really looking forward to reading it.

Senate Proof is a book full of surprises.

A book that is full of lies, intrigue, deception, business (after all, history is centered on a whiskey-smuggling group) and it leaves the story so "busy" that it is very difficult to tell yourself that you need to stop reading rather to do your personal duties!

NetGalley provided me with an electronic copy of Senate Proof. This is my honest opinion of the book.

Senate Proof weaves an intricate and convoluted web of lies and deceit, far reaching into the branches of the federal government. Collateral damage is common and paranoia is at an all time high, for good reason. At its core is a bootleg whiskey operation, which has blossomed to include certain highly illegal side projects. There are two sides caught in a power play - the old guard trying to hold on to the more legitimate operations, while the younger generation is hungry for more power and wealth. Two outsiders get caught in the deadly game: Caroline is a young woman who has taken a job on the farm, in order to try and solve her dad's murder. Jackson is a young man looking for a summer law internship, but he gets tangled in the web. When the struggle ends and the smoke clears, who will be left standing?

The book was well paced and thrilling, but there were too many side plots that took away from the central story. I was disappointed in the ending, especially in regards to a plot twist that, frankly, felt like it was just thrown in there. Certain aspects of the story flowed well, but the conflict between the two groups went on entirely too long. Senate Proof was good, but could have been great with a more cohesive plot and more advanced character development. I liked the author's writing style, so I would recommend it to those readers who like thrillers with multiple plot lines.
