Maya has, since their mother died, felt responsible for the care of her younger sister Naomi. When Naomi is found dead, with high amounts of ketamine in her system, Maya is convinced it’s no accident. What she can’t reveal is exactly why she holds this view.
When Maya was at college she fought hard to create opportunities to take care of her sister. This involved befriending people she had little in common with…but membership to the exclusive Greystone Society would guarantee the security she craved. Unfortunately, membership to the Society comes at a huge personal cost.
The book doesn’t reveal how the various characters and their histories link. However, we know Naomi becomes caught up in an investigation into one of the Professors at her college. Could her actions be enough to warrant someone killing her?
Maya certainly thinks so.
As the book develops we gain a clearer picture of the key characters and see how their histories have shaped their present lives. It builds up to a somewhat explosive - potentially melodramatic - finale but it was definitely entertaining.
