The General's Daughter by Nelson DeMilleMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is an engaging though tragic mystery. Paul Brenner is a highly competent investigator with wry humor. He is right on the line of earnestness and irony: he lives by the code of military duty and honor, but also see its limits. He catches a tough case: with political and career consequences but also the content of the case is troubling itself. The story deals with a lot of internal army politics and one of the key elements of the plot is the integration of women into the military and some of the challenges that posed.
The one thing I would knock the book for is that it goes on a bit long at the end. It took longer to resolve things that was necessary. The narration was by Scott Brick, one of my favorite narrators. He does a masterful job.
