Murder at the High School Reunion by Lee Hollis

Rated: 5 lobstah rolls

The ugly ducklings return! Who are the two hottest people at Maya and Sandra's 25th class reunion? Hint: they met in Chess Club. Yes, Alyssa and Noah, the nerdy girl and the boy with an acne problem have had two of the best glow-ups you'll ever see and people can't stop staring. Which is probably why someone was able to strangle the class queen bee right under everyone's noses without being seen....

Who killed Tawny Bryce? You can't narrow down the suspects with motive because, let's face it, the "popular" chicks are never the most well-liked. There is so much going on here, there's the creepy kid who didn't know how to act around his crushes, the mean girls who haven't changed, and of course the jock who always got whatever he wanted is still having his cake and eating it too. But Maya and Sandra are on the case and you know they never quit, no matter how far they have to go to get their perp.

In the background we have Sandra's young hunk, Lucas, Max still letting his temper get him into trouble, and Maya being everyone's voice of reason. And don't forget the lobster rolls... or should I say lob-STAH? My stomach is growling just thinking about it! While this is perhaps my least favorite of Lee Hollis's series, I still love it. Anyone who enjoys a sweet cozy mystery should definitely check out this author!

Thank you to Lee Hollis, Kensington, and NetGalley for providing me with an ARC.
