Product Description
From AudioFile
Elton presents a strong fictional portrait of how much the same--and different--life is for people who were mercilessly bullied as children. At the center of the story is Detective Ed Newson, who goes to his seventeenth-year class reunion. Almost every character is enhanced by narrator Glen McCready as the story moves from one emotional situation to the next. The production feels like the listener is hearing an expertly acted play. A highlight is a sex scene that is hilarious, perhaps funnier to hear than to see. As the body count increases, Detective Newson's challenges mount, but he remains humane and focused. This contemporary mystery is a bittersweet story that offers outstanding writing and narration. S.G.B.

Product Description
Bestselling author Ben Elton delivers a heart-stopping thriller and a killer comic romance.
With old friends like these, who needs enemies?
It’s a question, short, mild mannered detective Edward Newson is forced to ask himself having, in romantic desperation, logged on to the Friends Reunited website searching for the girlfriends of his youth. Newson is not the only member of the Class of ’86 who has been raking over the ashes of the past. As his old class begins to reassemble in cyberspace, the years slip away and old feuds and passions burn hot once more.
Meanwhile, back in the present, Newson’s life is no less complicated. He is secretly in love with Natasha, his lovely but very attached sergeant, while comprehensively failing to solve a series of baffling and peculiarly gruesome murders. A school reunion is planned and as history begins to repeat itself, the past crashes headlong into the present. Neither will ever be the same again.
