A school reunion. A party to die for.
December 1937. Daphne King is attending the twentieth anniversary reunion at her secondary
school, St Cecilia’s Academy for Girls. It is a weekend of resurrected rivalries and alliances. A string of peculiar incidents prompts Daphne to suspect that she and her friends are being sent messages - or warnings - related to the disappearance of a classmate twenty years ago.
It was a mystery which clouded their final year at the school - and one which Daphne, as a budding
eighteen-year-old sleuth, solved. But now, the morning after the reunion, another of Daphne's old school friends is found dead; and Daphne finds herself in the role of investigator once more. Are the two cases linked? And can you ever really outrun your past?
