At least this "hero" *only* held empty-headed Amber at knife point. That's an improvement I guess.

2.5. Def better in my memories but also pretty typical of the period. I can see why we liked this a lot growing up. The half point is for the fun DC locales.

Amber Carson was a debutante two years ago before joining up with Charisma, Inc. Now she is a, and I quote, an "undercover agent for one of the top detective agencies in the country". She is eighteen.
Hokey and cheesy, this is just one of ten 'Charisma, Inc.' books written in the late 1980's by various authors. One of which is Ruth Glick aka Rebecca York. This was a young-adult book with the heroine using phrases like "Thanks, heaps!", "totally unfair" and refers to people as 'sugar'. She has already met the First Lady and has friends in high places.
Partnered with another friend, Samantha St. James, their mission is to work among the politicians of Washington, DC and find out whom is intent on hurting the wife of a deceased senator. At the same time, Amber develops a "crush" on a mysterious delivery boy, Michael Hunter. Wow.
By far, this is is one of the silliest books I have ever read. It made me think of the old Nancy Drew mysteries. I had a hard time keeping a straight face while reading about Amber's adventures. We are talking about two-way radios and smoke pens here. If I had to guess, this story would appeal to young teens or anyone who wants a good laugh.
