A vacation gone deadly for one of four college graduates made Lydia determined to figure out what actually happened. Our amazing sleuth found a way to combine a girls’ weekend with her two best friends with snooping into the case. It’s an awfully good thing her two friends knew her like they did, or she could’ve been in some very big trouble! It’s awesome that Lydia and Jude are officially dating now, and I can’t wait to see what mysteries come next!

A date turns into a nightmare when Lydia and her dare find a dead body. Everyone in her group is safe but the other group recollections are different. Are they hiding something to save a killer or is it just bad recollection? It’s another quick cozy read to indulge in.

Friends are supposed to be forever. But sometimes not?
This was supposed to be a great date and fun weekend then what happened? But so much can happen that just isn't planned for. This was still a good story!
