This was a classic who done it with a bit of shattered suburbia idealism thrown in. It is told in several POVs: everyone from the victim to family to suspects. What I liked about it is that everyone had a secret they wanted to hide. Question was did their secret lead to a murder or just disgrace? The story revolves around the murder of Diana, town golden girl. She had everything going for her. But all was not what it seems. I mean is it ever? There were also many disturbingly bad people in this story. Some who looked the part of monsters and some who didn’t, which only made the book interesting. There was one story line that made me want to throw the book across the room. There were enough red herrings thrown in to keep it interesting and it’s a short read. Not life changing but I’m glad I read it.
