Spoiler
This was Val’s first book and it shows—just here and there. Lindsey is off to write a story at a Girls Public School—precisely the class she loathes—where a straight friend teaches. Also there for the gala fundraising weekend is Cordelia, for whom Lindsey quickly falls, and a famous Old-Girl cellist, who is murdered. Lindsey and Cordelia’s friend is arrested and jailed for murder, and they sleuth for the real murderer while beginning a relationship [as one does]. Unfortunately, having read ahead in the series, I remember how that relationship ends.
