Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Grover Gardner delivers an impeccable performance as Elizabeth Tyler MacMann, making her both relatable and utterly villainous in this political satire. The narrative zips along with a sharp wit that never lets up, from the scandal-plagued White House to the sly digs at Washington insiders. While the pacing is brisk, some scenes feel slightly rushed, which might detract from deeper character exploration. Nonetheless, 'No Way to Treat a First Lady' remains a delightful listen for those who appreciate Buckley’s unbridled humor and clever social commentary.
