Good plot, interesting characters but rather slow-moving at first. In the beginning, there were alot of suppositions, theories and questions about what had happened to Jessie when she was a teenager. Most thought she had run away, but when old bones were unearthed at the local high school, the general consensus was that Jessie was murdered. Enter her schoolmates, now 20 years older, and a police detective who has never been able to give up finding a reason for Jessie's disappearance. He now has a cold case getting warmer, he's bound and determined to prove the body is Jessie's and to find out which one of the "preppy pricks" killed her.

About 1/2 way thru the book, the pace picks up. There's no longer a bunch of theories to prove or disprove and alot more action. Some of Jessie's school chums are being killed off, too. It was hard to put the book down for the last 100 pages.

If you're a Lisa Jackson fan, put it on your MUST READ list. If you aren't a fan, you should consider reading WICKED GAME to get an idea of just how interesting her stories are. I give it 5 stars!!!
