As editor of the Fairview High newspaper, it's Virginia Wells' job to be neat, precise and sometimes critical--all of which come naturally to a Virgo. When one of her reporters mysteriously disappears, Virginia must use her eye for detail to unravel the mystery.
Jahnna N. Malcolm is the pen name for husband-and-wife team Jahnna Beecham and Malcolm Hillgartner. Together they've written four musicals, two movies, three CD-ROM games, and nearly one hundred books, including the popular series The Jewel Kingdom. They met in the theater and were married on the stage using Marlowe's famous love letter from "The Passionate Shepherd to His Love" as their wedding vows.
Sure, her friend was obviously upset and terrified that someone was after her before she disappeared, but fuck that, because Virginia has to get the school newspaper out on time, dammit!
This Zodiac series pales in comparison to the far superior Zodiac Chillers. This one in particular is just boring as hell. It takes forever before anyone figures out that the missing, then dead, girl was murdered. And the leaps of logic Virginia takes to track down the killer are just bizarre. If you're going to read one of the books in this series, don't start with this one.
