Claire Montrose wasn't part of her high school's in-crowd. Too smart, too tall, too skinny, and too young-looking, she didn't have a lot of fun back then.

But someone else can't let bygones be bygones. Checking into her hotel, Claire receives a mysterious heart-shaped box with her yearbook picture inside.

Not badly written. Stock characters with a stock plot (you'll figure out the bad guy pretty early in the book), all revolving around the tried-but-true "we all go back for a high school reunion and someone gets murdered" theme. It passed a couple of hours but I doubt you'll remember it in a couple of months. ( )

I don't usually read mystery novels. I grabbed this one solely because of the title, being an intense Nirvana fan who was dazed to hear of Kurt's suicide at age sixteen. I wanted to integrate the cultural reference.

The book was classic mystery, with the set-up and depiction of character. It held my interest. I enjoyed reading it thoroughly. So, three star, as a solid read. Not captivating four star, not enchanting rare five star, but a good solid three star. This author has her technique down. ( )
