We all have them. That one person from our past that we can't stand but they somehow want to glom on to you. For Evie Parker, whose life has been pretty darn good lately, it's Isabel Fitzpatrick. They were school girls together and Isabel spent most of the time putting down everyone around her with insults disguised as compliments. And now she's back along with her racecar driver husband. She's invited herself to Evie's house. In defense, Evie decides to join a car rally which her young friend Phillipa is participating in. But, on the road with a flat tire, Evie and her chauffer/body guard/sweetheart (?) look up to see Isabel and her husband hurtling down the road with a car that's apparently out of control. But was Isabel's husband dead before the crash? And what does it have to do with the rash of drugs in the area?This book didn't amuse me as much as the first two (was it less madcap? Maybe) but I am admiring how far ahead Parin starts building each story into previous books in the series.
