Henry Kimball is a private detective, and former high school teacher. One day a woman, a former pupil, asks him to find out if her husband is cheating on her. As he begins his investigation the husband and his girlfriend are found dead (supposed murder/suicide) and he soon realises these are not the first deaths to happen around the wife, Joan – some of them dating back to her schooldays. This is a very decent read and the characters are well-drawn, although I wished I'd read the first book featuring Kimball so I could fill in some of the background gaps in this. Nonetheless, even being read as a standalone novel, it's definitely worth 4 Stars.
