Wow!1 This one was an interesting read. The FMC is an alcoholic celebrity who lost her husband a year prior in a drowning at their lake home. After saving another starlet, Katherine, from a similar fate, they quickly build a friendship, but Katherine suddenly disappears. With three immediate suspects all milling around, the main character becomes a lakeside porch sleuth, spying on all of her neighbors with a bottle of bourbon and binoculars. All of the chacters were nicely developed and they all had a plot line and the plot twist (the main one) as there were many were CRAZY!!
