From School Library Journal
YA-- Darcy Scott and Erin Kelley, best friends since college, decide to help Nona Roberts with her research for a television documentary dealing with the types of people who place and answer personal ads. It starts out as a lark, but it turns to tragedy as Erin is found murdered after one of her dates. When her body is discovered, there is a clue that connects her death to those of seven other women in the New York area. In an attempt to find her friend's murderer, Darcy sets out to date the men Erin met through the personals. One of them could be the killer--but which one? Clark weaves a terrifying tale of life in the '90s that is sure to draw YAs into its web of suspense. Engrossing, even for reluctant readers. --Roberta Lisker, W. T. Woodson High School, Fairfax,

This may be my favorite novel by Mary H-C. Haven't we all wondered about the personal ads, who answers them, and what would it be like to go on a blind date? Two sisters find out the hard way in this fast-moving mystery. The who-done-it is a big shock and I always enjoy how the author writes in a strong woman in the herione's role. She gets her man, but not as you'd expect from the personals ; )
