Product Overview
New from New York Times bestselling author Sheila Connolly! Laura Shumway couldnt say why shed agreed to go on the class reunion trip to Italy. Maybe it was to take stock of her life, or maybe it was just to catch up with old friends, take in the sights, and relax in the beautiful Tuscan countryside. Either way, she knew shed discover a lot on the trip, about both herself and her former classmates. What she didnt expect to discover was the dead body of esteemed professor Anthony Gilbert. Gilbert had had a long and illustrious career at the college. Now retired to Italy, he appeared as a surprise guest speaker at the womens vacation villa, still disarmingly handsome, still charming, but not nearly so eminent in the eyes of Lauras classmates. As a young professor all those years ago, Gilbert used his position and looks to seduce and then cast aside many of his young and impressionable students, and at least some of the women on this trip had been hurt by his false promises of love. The kind of hurt that runs deep and may have given any number of them a motive for murder. Before the polizia or carabiniere get involved, Laura and a few trusted classmates set out among the vineyards and hills of the Italian Riviera to solve the murder on their own. With the help of some influential locals and good old-fashioned detective work, theyre soon led to the conclusion that one of their classmates might be a killerand what started as a trip to see how far theyd all come may turn into a stark lesson about just how far one of them would go.
