Events & Podcasts — Nancy Doyle Palmer

BLURBS

A disgraced reporter joins forces with the enigmatic wife of the Vice President. What happens next is a fast-moving thriller with a beating heart at its center. Nancy Doyle Palmer pierces through the axis of the DC politics-media machine and delivers a tart, funny, suspenseful and smart novel for all political seasons. April at Rush Hour carries the tension of “Where’d You go Bernadette” alongside the mordant inside-the-Beltway humor of “Heartburn.” Any reader with an appetite for extra-dishy political scandal will love this fun, ripped-from-the-headlines novel.

“Everything about this entertaining, smart story of second lady April Sloan and her undercover life in the DC carpool lanes is a witty take on today’s political and journalistic landscape. Palmer’s insider DC eye makes this book a page-turned with a surprisingly emotional pay-off.”

Lee Woodruff, NY Times best-selling author of In an Instant

Smart, witty, and deeply human, April at Rush Hour is a charming and insightful novel about journalism and fame and the complicated lives we live behind our public personas. Nancy Doyle Palmer captures Washington with both affection and sharp-eyed humor.
