Synopsis
A New York Times Notable Book of the Year
Elizabeth Tyler MacMann, the ambitious First Lady of the United States (and known in the tabloids as "Lady Bethmac"), is on trial for the death of her philandering husband, and the only man who can save her is the boyfriend she jilted in law school--now the most shameless defense attorney in America. Published to rave reviews, No Way to Treat a First Lady is a hilariously warped love story for our time set in the funniest place in America: Washington, D.C.

Review
"Unspeakably and endlessly funny. Unless you're a former president...Wicked humorist Buckley shoots fish in a barrel and makes them dance."
-Kirkus (starred)
-Publishers Weekly (lead review) "Buckley has surpassed himself....The result isn't humorous; it's hilarious."
--Los Angeles Times Book Review "An exceedingly funny account of a White House scandal that
doesn't bear the slightest resemblance--nudge nudge, wink wink--
to one that took place there only five short years ago."
--Jonathan Yardley, The Washington Post "This clever, gleeful satire . . . sets a high comic standard."
--Janet Maslin, The New York Times
"Christopher Buckley must have had a great time creating this satire that is part legal thriller, part love story and entirely over-the-top funny. But those who choose to pick it up can look forward to smart writing, memorable lines and more than a few belly laughs. [No Way to Treat a First Lady] doesn't have to be a guilty pleasure; it can be enjoyed and shared because it is simply smart and light and very funny."
--The Denver Post
Book Description
Imagine the First Lady, so incensed by her husband's philandering, that she hits him over the head with an antique silver spittoon ... and is charged with his murder.
