Reason for reading: review for MyShelf.com
Blurb (from back cover): "When school psychologist Skye Denison stumbles over the body of pushy Promest chairperson Annette Paine during a Halloween fund-raiser, it looks like a clear-cut case of promicide. Annette was not the only prom mom desperate to see her daughter crowned queen-and her skirt-chasing hubby is no prince either.
"Skye's anxious to investigate, but she keeps getting sidetracked by the overeager new social worker at school and also by her beau's emotional distance. Still, one question haunts her: Since Annette Paine was wearing a witch costume identical to Skye's, which witch was the intended victim? Will Skye realize too late that finding this killer is a matter of her own life or death?"
Opinion: Definitely not as good as Swanson's previous novels. Still enjoyable. For a more complete review, please check out MyShelf.com in the upcoming months.
