First, let me say I truly enjoyed this book. Not so much for the mystery but for the content... (suburban)High School with all its baggage of peer pressure, 'social activities' angst, bullying, reunions, ugly duckling to swan, etc. (Not to mention school admins.)

Haddam certainly had something to say this time. I found not one chuckle in this book so be prepared. You are even forewarned in her acknowledgements, "this is the longest book I've ever written,... and spent dinner discoursing nonstop on Why Americans Are Obsessional About High School."

You will know these people, you will know yourself, you will remember. They say you can never go back - it is true - but you can stay...
