The fixer upper by Mary Kay Andrews

This is truly the last piece of brain candy for a while. Normally, I enjoy MKA's writing, but this one dragged on for me. I know that we've all been far too naive for our own good at various times but the character of Dempsey completely misses the fact that she's assisting her corrupt lobbyist of a boss in bribing a U.S. senator. She's an attorney for goodness sake! Her father's an attorney; surely she's seen someone corrupt in her 27 years on the planet. The home renovation comes across as far less complex than a real one would be.
