Class reunions are often far from classy.. well, mostly the alumni. Seems no matter how well planned, something always ruins the event. In this case, it happens to be a murder. Milan Jacovich, our main PI character, is hired to investigate his own reunion's classmate demise. Tethering in TMI from those he last saw 40 years prior gets to be unnerving (and rather surprising) as he questions attendees, one on one, to find who did it and avail who did not.
Milan gets himself knocked into a precarious situation, as he invariably does in his line of work, and ruffles more feathers than he soothes, but he comes out on top in the end.
Roberts is a gifted writer, managing to insert LOL moments in tense situations and engaging the reader so much that his books are often a one night read, albeit a very, very long night.
