Description:
Pittsburgh’s own Rebecca Drake knocks one out of the park with The Next Killing. Lauren Kavanaugh, a young woman with a shadowy past, comes to teach at a Catholic prep school and immediately afterward the body of a student is found drowned. As further events unfold Lauren is convinced that a killer is loose but the police are just as happy to have her as a suspect. Drake keeps the tension rising as the scene shifts between Lauren, the students, the police and a journalist who seeks the secret of her past. Compulsively readable.
