When Kelly Flynn's new friend is found dead on the golf course at Fort Conner, Colorado, Kelly goes all out to quickly prove it is not an accidental drug overdose. She abandons the knitting of hats and mittens at the House of Lambspun and begins to unravel the murder mystery. Looking into the parties on the university campus she finds a web of lies and answers. I also enjoyed two books by Janet Evanovitch who populates her books with eccentric characters and unusual situations. One was Smokin' Seventeen in which Stephanie Plum's life gets confusing when her mother tries to play matchmaker among two current interests and an old high school football star. Bodies turn up with tags saying “For Stephanie” on them and Jimmy Alpha's brother is out to kill her. The other is Wicked Appetite in which chef Lizzy Tucker thought she was an ordinary person but finds out she is wrong when Diesel shows up. In a race against time they battle criminal mastermind Gerewulf Grimoire through historic Salem as they seek the relic Gluttony Stone.
