This was a bit hit-and-miss for me. I enjoyed the idea and plot but I couldn't connect with the characters as well as I would like to.Sometimes when life gets a bit too frazzled, we just want to go home to relive a moment or two when life was just far less complicated. So that's just what Hollywood sensation Jan Fairchild does to enjoy a happy reunion with her Philadelphia main line high school friends. Everything was going well. That is until a dead body puts a damper on the festivities. True to form, Jan's friend, Ginger Barnes, starts a bit of sleuthing to suss out the perp. There are so many possibilities which author Donna Huston Murray deftly leads us through, methodically ticking each one off the list of suspects. Her writing is solid and the characters are well developed. The setting is well described. The dialogue is tender, sometimes a bit snarky and often humorous. Overall this was a satisfying read and the perfect palate cleanser between heavier books. I am grateful to author Donna Huston Murray for having provided a complimentary e-copy of this book in its second edition. Her generosity, however, has not influenced this review - the words of which are mine alone.
