Regan Reilly is back in another “thrilling” tale with “unexpected plot twists and Clark’s trademark humor” (The Daily Beast). When Detective Regan Reilly sets off for her tenth reunion at Quiltier College—an all-women’s college in Northern Massachusetts—she is looking forward to reconnecting with old friends and reminiscing. She doesn’t expect to be working. But things don’t always turn out as planned. On her way to the reunion, Regan stops at her favorite diner, Dot and Don’s, and discovers the owners of the restaurant bound up in the cellar, the cash register empty. She helps the police investigate the break-in. Later the same day, two 102-year-old Quiltier alumni, who returned for their eightieth reunion, leave the infirmary where they were assigned rooms. When they have not returned by 11:30 p.m. alumni take part in a Nature Night Search to find the missing women, led by Regan, the campus security team, and the local police. And there is the mystery of who from Regan’s graduating class gave an anonymous donation of $1 million to the school. And where did she get the money? So much for a quiet reunion. The quirky, colorful personalities who work at the college and the local television studio, as well as the Quiltier grads and others who and find their way to the campus keep the story light as the mysteries pile up. Cameo appearances by Regan’s husband—Detective Jack Reilly, Head of the NYPD major case squad—and her parents—Nora Reilly the famous mystery writer and Luke Reilly, the owner of several funeral homes in New Jersey—will appeal to Carol’s fans. The unusual mix of characters and unexpected events will keep readers turning the pages of this fast-paced and fun mystery.
