Joanna Brady is the Sherriff of a town in southern Arizona, taking after her father. In this book, her daughter Jenny, from her first marriage, discovers the murdered body of her high-school principal. After calling her mom and not being too bright (as a typical high schooler), she snaps a picture of the gruesome body on her cell phone and texts it to her best friend, who quickly proceeds to upload it to Facebook for the entire world to see. Sherriff Brady is introduced to Facebook and the enormity of the internet/social media through this case. Dealing with Jenny and her classmates, Joanna discovers that the principal is not well liked by the kids, but thats really just the tip of the iceberg where Principal Highsmith is concernedor is that really her name? And how in the world does Joannas deceased father get thrown into the mix?

As typical of J.A. Jance, this story throws several curveballs at the reader to keep you off guard and guessing, with a surprise ending. Ive read all of the Joanna Brady series and so far none have managed to replicate each other, which provides for a fresh, interesting book every time. A new reader will also be able to jump into the middle of the series and not feel lost. An excellent read all-around!
