No one enjoys a high school reunion but Sloane Monroe’s is a real downer as classmates start falling like dominoes. First, on the riverboat cruise, man overboard! Was it an accidental death? It seems so until the second body is found. And then the third. Someone is mightily provoked and it all seems to stem from a night from twenty years ago.

The plot on this book is fairly complicated to keep all the players straight and their motives and alibis—be sure to pay attention. Sloane is able to find out a lot of information, especially with the help of her boyfriend whose job is not exactly spelled out and that’s just as well for all concerned.

Rosiland Ward runs the town and her son is the first to die. Why isn’t she more upset and involved in finding out just what happened? She’s protecting someone and that might be her oldest granddaughter, at the cost of her daughter-in-law and everyone else.

Stretch the believability factor and sit back and enjoy the ride for this book. You remember all the drama from high school and the angst it caused. Some people just can’t forgive and forget.

All in all, the book reminds us, youthful indiscretion will come back to haunt you—and just maybe…kill you.

Also by Cheryl Bradshaw, Black Diamond Death and Sinnerman.
