Last Summer, Alice Ogilvie’s basketball-star boyfriend, Steve, dumped her. And ended up with her ex-best friend, Brooke Donovan. Now Brooke is dead, and the whole town of Castle Cove thinks they know who did it: Steve. But Alice isn’t so sure. Enter Iris Adams, Alice’s tutor. All Iris wants is to get out of Castle Cove—and the hefty reward Brooke’s grandmother is offering to anyone who can find Brooke’s killer is exactly what she needed to make it happen. Alice has a theory, but she can’t prove it alone—she needs Iris and her levelheaded intelligence. And with the complete works of Agatha Christie, the master of mysteries herself, they might be able to find Brooke justice—if they can stay alive themselves.
