hugbandit7's review against another edition
3.0
I thought this was a good start to a new series set on an island off the coast of Washington (think Seattle area).
The cast of characters is rather small so I had a hard time figuring out who might have killed Leticia and why (other than the fact that she was pushy!). There are some interesting twists and some that might have you say "ewwww" but all in all a good book and this sets it up nicely for the next book.
I did suspect the killer but not for any strong obvious reason, just that this person seemed the most likely....perhaps it was little clues that gave it away to me but I wasn't even sure until it was revealed at the end.
A little bit of a love story for JJ so can't wait to see how that progresses in the next book.

I won this in a goodreads giveaway. It was a fun quick read and I will read the next in the series. Since moving the the island at the beginning of the school year, Letitia Lemoine has made many enemies by pushing her opinions on everyone. So, when her body is found in the freezer at school, there's no lack of suspects. To protect her friends' reputation, J.J. MacGregor decides to do some investigating of her own, bringing her closer to attractive police chief.
While I liked the book and would read more in the series, I did find some parts of the plot that didn't ring true. For example, these parents seem overly involved in the running of the the school. It's odd that the parents would be in charge of the yearbook and have such freedom within the building. Also, J.J. seems totally oblivious to the horrid state of her marriage. I would still recommend it to cozy readers though.
