I know this is fiction, but I have a hard time wrapping my head around a brand new Senator being picked as the nation's VP. He's only been a known politician for a year. No one moves up that fast.I'm not surprised that Sam told him to go for it. She got the considerations of not having to quit her job or accept secret service protection. She wants him to be happy and she knows he will be good at the job.
I've said this before ... this plot thread is nonsensical and defies belief. Force is trying so hard to arrange it so that Nick can be VP and Sam can remain a detective that she is manipulating characterization in order to do it. Sam's agreement is an example of this.
This is so unbelievable to me. Nick shouldn't be in Congress let alone VP. This plot line drives me crazy. Seriously, in this day in age, who would allow the VPs wife to be a cop. There are so many scenarios that could happen to put people in government in dange.
I agree with everyone. It defies reality. Sam gets to continue her life the way she wants to.
Force playing fast and loose with reality and common sense it a huge reason this series is averaging 3 stars for me. It has such potential but it is missing the mark.
I agree, Lauren. Ignoring things that are just basic to both police work and politics just jars me out of the flow of the story and I'm focused on that instead of the plot. The redeeming aspect of this series is that Force can spin a very good mystery plot and write it well.
