A dual timeline mystery from a fave romance author. 

School friends (and lovers) torn apart my a murder are reunited when one of them decides to investigate. 

The tension is high, the twists are golden, the dual timeline is done to perfection, and social justice themes, especially reproductive health,  permeate the whole story.

Given that Charles's Romance novels often have wonderfully constructed mystery plots, I had no doubts that she could pull of a straight Mystery, and I was right. I love the dual timeline between the present and 10 years earlier when Jem and all his friends were at Oxford and one of them committed murder. Fantastic characters and twists and just an all around delight.
