Review #62
Elise Freeman, a teacher and tutor at exclusive Windsor Preparatory Academy in Brentwood, is found dead in her Studio City apartment in a bathtub full of dry ice. At first it looks like a straightforward suicide: a woman records a message on a DVD and then kills herself. But the facts are all wrong. The DVD isn't a suicide message; it's an accusation against some of her colleagues at the school. However, Deputy Chief Weinberg wants (for personal reasons) the investigation to involve the school as little as possible.
As usual, psychologist Alex Delaware takes an active role, along with LAPD Lt. Milo Sturgis, in the investigation which finds the victim had lots to hide. A boyfriend, students, teachers, and administrators are all anxious to keep those secrets hidden and at least one of them is willing to kill again. Milo and Alex form an odd but effective duo as they trade banter and insights while sorting out the lies and deceptions. Getting to the heart of the matter requires plenty of investigation and a certain amount of danger.
This is the 25th of the ‘Alex Delaware-Milo Sturgis’ mysteries and is just as good as the first one!
