Description
A cyanide-laced canape -- and the death of the PTA president who devoured it -- had quite upset the spring luncheon of the affluent suburban Connecticut PTA, when a second PTA member dropped dead from a poisoned packet of artifical sweetener. Now Susan Henshaw, vice-president of the PTA, leads an investigation into an organization riddled with scandal, sex and drugs . . .Tags

Hancock, Connecticut. The Suburbs. Fathers who work in the City and stay-at-home moms who volunteer for the PTA and spend their summers at the club with their children. When two members of the PTA die of cyanide poisoning within two months and (both times) in close proximity to Sue Henshaw, clearly something is wrong beneath the glossy surface of life. As Sue works with the State Police, will she uncover more unsavory secrets? Will she be the next victim?
I generally find amateur detectives annoying, but Sue Henshaw is so good-humored and honest about her nosiness, that this was pleasant and fun. The solution was a little muddled, but it was enjoyable.
