Boxer reviewed

Patt Morrison reviews Sen. Barbara Boxer's co-written first novel in today's LAT and calls A Time to Run "a passable political thriller of wishful thinking and wish fulfillment — Capitol Hill intrigue with the good guys (Boxer's Dems) winning. My wish fulfillment would have been reading it without knowing who wrote it — like a blind wine-tasting — but without Boxer's name on the cover, would it have been reviewed at all?"
