Tess Darcy's B&B is filled with class members back for their 20 year reunion. Four of them had been dubbed the Four Musketeers while in high school. Another guest is a classmate who had been picked on back then and is now a multimillionaire. And the 6th guest is the literary agent for one of the four. This writer is hinting about writing a book set in a small town in the 70s featuring a group of friends. All of the guests are trying to find out what the book details. Then the author dies of strychnine poisoning and Tess starts asking questions. Well developed plot.
