Following the kidnapping of her daughter, Janie, Eliza Blake decides to rent a house in prestigious Tuxedo Park, New York. She’s invited to a party and before the night ends, the host commits suicide by stigmata. As Eliza and her colleagues, AKA the Sunshine Suspense Society, begin to investigate, they realize he left clues behind that will piece together a cover-up that happened years ago. Can Eliza and her friends find the killer’s identity before they become the next victims? ( )

I began this book with no preconceived ideas as to how good or bad it would be. I hoped it would be exciting and full of suspense.

I was immediately put off by the way the book was divided into so many chapters, some of them only a page long, if that, making the book very choppy reading. I have a proof copy, and perhaps the final copy was different. I found the 1-2 page "chapters" instrusive and annoying, so much so that I began skipping pages trying to get to the story itself.

I really wanted to like this book, but found myself bored and unwilling to deal with the choppiness of it. I finally gave up and skipped ahead to the final few pages so that I could find out "whodunit". I was pretty disappointed in this book even though I thought the potential was good. ( )

THIS IS A GREAT BOOK. THE SHORT CHAPTERS MAKE IT A VERY FAST READ, AFTER YOU BECOME ACCUSTOMED TO THEM. EACH CHAPTER HAS YOU THINKING SOMEONE ELSE IS IT. IT WAS GREAT FUN TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE CLUES IN THE HOUSE. I WILL BE LOOKING FOR THE FIRST BOOK IN THIS SERIES.

A well plotted and fast paced mystery introducing the reader to a world of wealth and privilege. The exclusive residents of Tuxedo Park face a killer determined to expose the sins of their past and their position is no protection.
Eliza Blake attends an exclusive party in Tuxedo Park where a suicide occurs which is just the beginning of a wave of murders. Eliza and her colleges from Key to America set out to solve the puzzles. Eliza comes face-to-face with a murderer who doesn't want all the puzzles solved. ( )

This is a fantastic read. Each chapter is fast paced and wonderfully written. The Story begins when a suicide serves as a catalyst for murder. The author does a good job at keeping her readers guessing as to who the murder is. I was taken by surprise when I found that not all was what it seemed. ( )
