Synopsis

Alwych is the stereotypical old money Connecticut beach town...and Chapin Waring is the worst thing that ever happened to it. She was from one of the richest families in Alwych until thirty years ago when the young debutante was revealed to a bank robber and a murderer. She disappeared, but Alwych has never forgotten her, or let her friends and family forget. So when, after being spotted around town, Chapin turns up dead - stabbed to death in her family's old home - it's baffling. Gregor Demarkian, retired profiler for the FBI, is brought in to finally solve the mysteries surrounding Chapin Waring. Not just how and why she died where she did, but where she'd been and what happened that night thirty years ago that set everything in motion.

Goodreads review by Louise

Jane Haddam is just a fine writer. Her books are dense with plots and insight into people. I hadn’t read anything by her in years and I realized I had missed this book when it came out in 2013.
