This is a pretty good mystery about five elderly women who graduated together and who now have all moved back to their home town However, someone is trying to kill them all After two of the classmates are murdered, Valdean decides she s going to try to catch the killer before he gets her, and with the help of an out of state detective, does succeed in the end I didn t like the narrator of the book I think the book would have been better without his constant comments But I did like the mystery.
I quite liked most of this book I have trouble with murder mysteries I am drawn into the suspense and can t put them down, but there is always that sick murdered revealed at the end Better written than books by most LDS authors and funny quirky too.
