When a young student drowns in a campus pond at a prestigious New England boarding school, tough businesswoman Thea Kozak faces what may be her most tragic mystery yet. The death rocks the private school world, and Thea is called in for crisis management and to reevaluate the school's rather careless procedures for keeping track of students. But when Thea discovers that the young victim was pregnant, cooperation vanishes. Suddenly, no one will talk to her. Undaunted, Thea keeps digging, finding, beneath the school's genteel veneer, a host of nasty secrets. Suddenly, too many people want her gone so their secrets can be kept, and under one of those rocks she's overturned, there's a killer who doesn't want to be found. "If a sleep-losing page turner is your thing, keep an eye on Thea. She's one of the good guys." Richard Barre

      September 29, 1997
      The latest Thea Kozak mystery jumps off to a fine beginning but sags under a weighty grab-bag of subplots and Thea's garrulous narration. While she's helping her lover, Maine State Police detective Andre Lemieux, recover from his partner's death (Death at the Wheel, 1996), Thea, a private school consultant, is called to the co-ed Bucksport School where a student has drowned. Brash, workaholic Thea must calm parents and students while trying to control the damage to the school's reputation. In the process, she makes several discoveries: the dead girl, Laney Taggert, was pregnant, probably by a faculty member; Laney's house parents are too distracted by their own problems to supervise their students; a groundskeeper has a history of sexually abusing adolescent girls. Everyone whom Thea interviews has something to hide. Stubbornly, she interferes with the police investigation, fights with Andre, almost succumbs to a poisoning attempt and is wounded in the contrived climax. Flora rings some new changes on the academic mystery with her contemporary private school settings and relentless detective, but she dilutes the effect with telegraphed clues and repetitious explanations.
