OK. So this book was decent but was a long way away from being the best in the series. I mean I'm glad Clare got back on the sex horse again, but there were some things that pissed me off. Let's start with the fact that David didn't think he was the target. Even though he and the victim looked just alike. So here's how it went down. There was a fourth of July party that was going down at David's Hampton's house. Clare and David's coffee staff were serving, including Joy, and the guests were admiring the fireworks. While the fireworks were going off, someone got off 3 shots and luckily 1 hit its target. Joy really liked the barista who was shot and so did everyone else. Thinking she can find some clues, Clare goes outside. She finds the shell casings and some strange footprints. She leads the police to the shell casings and the footprints, but the footprints have been washed away.
Along for the Hamptons ride is Joy, Clare's daughter, and Madame, Clare's ex mother-in-law. Joy works for David so Clare can keep an eye on her and Madame is looking for a summer fling.
While out walking one night, Clare spots someone with those weird shaped footprints and follows them into the water. She spots the boats name and then swims back to shore. She wanders into the neighbor's party looking for David, to make sure he is ok. Before she can find him, she is yanked by security and is being forced out. He is stopped by Matt, who says she is with him.
When she gets back to David's, she finds him poisoned and they rush him to the hospital. turns out he was poisoned by MSG. He stays in the hospital and Clare is more determined than ever to find the killer. The suspect list consists of a rich heiress, a maitre'd, and a maid.
The killer wasn't who I thought it was. He didn't even have anything to do with the story. Then again, Coyle did keep the surprise factor that I love oh so much. All I can say is the ending will keep you on the edge of your seat, but at the same time, its funny.
