This book is dense with characters and plot. And plenty of crime: murder, corruption, illegal acts of all types. Fortunately, Maudy also has several supportive friends. But in these plot twists, they can sometimes be hard to distinguish from a suspect cadre of criminally-inclined associates. I don’t want to give anything away, but as the saying goes, “with friends like these….”

Maudy, a park ranger, has her hands full with her job, her extra-curricular activities, and running for office in the town. Not to mention conflicting connections with her current boyfriend and her former (and possibly future) male best friend, whose back yard abuts Maudy’s.

In addition to that, major complications ensue when she learns someone is trying to torpedo her campaign for Village Council, and get her fired from the job she loves. Then members of the 2000-2010 high school graduation class come to town for a long-planned gala reunion, and the past and the present collide, threatening dozens of lives.

Occasionally I found it difficult to place one of the dozen or so main actors in this book, but basically I figured it out, though I hadn’t read the first book in the Stone’s Throw Mystery Series.

While traveling the world and writing about wine and spirits, Becky Sue Epstein read cozy mysteries to relax. One day it occurred to her that she could combine the two pursuits. She recently began to write wine-themed cozy mysteries. Hopefully, her agent will love them.
