I had this book and after reading the cover flap, I assumed a very different mystery/story that was presented. I expected the book to solve the mystery of why a graduating senior and a school principal and their suitcases were together when they were killed in an auto accident. So my assumption was it was a mystery.

Wrong! The mystery was why the sheriff of the town was trying to cover-up the true story with one that would save the principal's reputation. I did not like the book and should have stopped reading long before the end. To me the sheriff is nothing more than an immature 19 year old in a man's body who makes one dark dumb decision after an other.

After finishing the book I did what I should have done in the beginning...check PBS to see what genre is listed. Literature/Fiction. Well that fits. Definitely time wasted on what I thought was a mystery.

Even as Literature/Fiction not worth reading.
