With her husband transferred to the Phillippines for a year, cartoonist Molly Masters returns to her hometown with her two children...and steps smack into trouble she thought she'd left behind.



Her scandalous high school past-- a seathing poem about a teacher had made front page of the school paper-- comes back to haunt her. Now, there's a letter from the teacher with a cryptic message, but poor Mrs. Kravett is dead before Molly can respond. Then come the death threats by fax.



When a knife from her unsuccessful dinner party winds up in a neighbor's back, Molly realizes she's still in trouble. But this time it's murder.

I truly loved this book! It was the most enjoyable cozy mystery I've read in quite a while, and I have already ordered more in the series. Molly's personality was great and she cracked me up, and I could really relate to her. I was happy to discover the killer's identity in the end because I didn't care for that character too much, plus I wanted everyone else in the novel to stick around for future books in the series.

I didn't care too much for the faxing-part of the plot because to me its just so old-fashioned. Molly's part-time profession was a little wierd to me too. It doesn't seem like anyone could really make a lot of money doing what she did, mainly because it wasn't original enough. It also seems like it would be super-easy to trace faxes in the first place, at least in this day and age.

I can't wait to read more of the series! I loved the book.

This is the first of these books. It's really quite good, the plot keeps going and keeps you guessing. I enjoyed it very much.

From Publishers Weekly: "This witty, sometimes cynical, debut introduces Molly Masters, a greeting card designer who returns to her hometown in upstate New York while her engineer husband is sent on a job in the Philippines. With their two young children in tow, Molly starts up a faxable-greeting service and reunites with her lifelong friend, Lauren. She receives a note from a high-school teacher whom she had satirized in a poem in the school newspaper years before, but before Molly responds, the woman dies. Molly gets a series of faxes implying that she is responsible for the teacher's death and threatening her and her children. Nearly everywhere she turns, Molly encounters members of her graduating class who remember the nasty poem: Tommy Newton, a nerd who is now the investigating police officer; "Miss Popularity," Stephanie Saunders, the current PTA president; football hero Jack Vance, who has become the elementary school principal. When a classmate's husband is murdered, Molly's suspicions focus on all the nearby alums. Peppered by Molly's greeting card brainstorms, O'Kane's engaging mystery takes a slanted, entertaining glance at high-school figures we all loved to hate."

Amusing little mystery.

Molly Masters returns to her home town after her husband is transferred to the Philippines for a year. Her scandalous high school past---a scathing poem about a teacher that made front page of the school paper--comes back to haunt her.
