Synopsis

While attending a gala at Prescott University's lavish new campus, Hester Thursby and fellow guest, Detective Angela White, are called to the home of the college's owners, Tucker and Jennifer Matson. Jennifer claims that someone broke into Pinebank, their secluded mansion on the banks of Jamaica Pond. The more Hester and Angela investigate, the less they believe Jennifer's story, leaving Hester to wonder why she would lie.

When Hester is asked by the college's general manager to locate some missing alumni, she employs her research skills on the family and their for-profit university. Between financial transgressions, a long-ago tragedy, and rumors of infidelity, it's clear that the Matsons aren't immune to scandal or mishap. But when one of the missing students turns up dead, the mystery takes on new urgency.

Hester is edging closer to the truth, but as a decades-old secret collides with new lies, a killer grows more determined to keep the past buried with the dead . . .

Goodreads review by Jenny on April 07, 2021

A great mystery is a rare thing to find these days. First, you have to have a story that reels you in slowly and keeps you trying to solve it before the last page. It should be full of details but not tedious and have characters of questionable intent that will make you wondering who is the culprit......more

Goodreads review by Christina on February 12, 2021

This was my first Edwin Hill book, and I found it to be a solid, intelligent, and well-characterized mystery with compelling characters. I particularly enjoyed Hester Thursby, a quirky and non-traditional non-detective "detective" with a knack for finding missing people. I also loved the Jamaica Pla......more
