Just His Luck

August 9, 2019

Elizabeth Conners has been sheriff for less than a day when she gets called to a local pond where an SUV with a body inside has been found. She recognizes the car instantly and the victim as her frenemy from high school, Ariel Matheson, who disappeared on graduation night. The timing couldn't be more perfect--their ten-year high school reunion is coming up this weekend. Lizzy senses that one of her fellow classmates is the killer, as Ariel terrorized everyone, including Shade Sterling, Lizzy's crush and Ariel's ex. Shade was hoping the reunion would be his chance finally to ask Lizzy out, but the past seems to be working against him. He figures three days at a ranch for the reunion might give him an opportunity to pursue his goal, but the killer has other plans. VERDICT Veteran author Daniels's latest (after Luck of the Draw) has a bit of a slow start, but once the action picks up, it doesn't stop.--Kellie Tilton, Univ. of Cincinnati Blue Ash
