Description

K.C. Gordon can't wait to find out what her old school friend Angelique means by this cryptic comment. But before they meet someone cuts short the life of international model Angelique Lanci in a hail of bullets. Loved by few, despised and envied by many, Angelique instigated infidelities, salacious gossip, betrayal and jealousy. But did she deserve to be gunned down in her own home? As K.C. Gordon, successful romance novelist, surveys the assembled family members, past and present acquaintances, business associates and ex-lovers standing at Angelique's graveside, all with a motive for seeing their nemesis dead, she knows she'll get her own hands dirty unravelling the truth of who killed Angelique.

developed with any depth. There was not much of a mystery, as the reader learns the dark secrets of every character within the first several chapters. The rest of the book is rehashing what the reader has already been told. I'm surprised that Ms. Darcy was able to get a series out of this book, which was a phenomenal disappointment.
