This has been a good week for The Bookie Monster...we've had the pleasure of awarding a handful of excellent books with a five star rating. And the streak doesn't end here! A.A. Pencil's book, The Reunion, still has my head spinning.Reminiscent of a modern day Clue, The Reunion will have readers dying - no pun intended - to know who dunnit.A group of frenemies gather at a spooky mansion for their ten year high school reunion. The atmosphere is tense as guests begin to arrive and memories of old flames and rivalries bubble to the surface. A trip down memory lane reveals disturbing secrets about each attendee. Someone is out for blood and the group is intent on discovering the culprit. As guests retire to their rooms, a scream pierces the silence, the killing has begun.Is the murderer one of them? Perhaps the jealous actress, guilty of being an attention whore, or the girl who lost her high school sweetheart to another, plagued by a lifetime of disaster, or maybe it's the police officer, or the pedophile? Or could it be the mansion's caretaker, Debbie, the daughter of a deceased war veteran? As the death toll rises, the list of suspects gets smaller. The ending is completely unexpected, and hit me like a Mack truck. I challenge anyone to guess how this one ends.The twists and turns in The Reunion will make you feel like you're on a never ending roller coaster. The group dynamic A.A. Pencil has penned (sorry, couldn't resist) is diverse and the story is fraught with tension. Suspense lurks behind every corner as the story builds to a fever pitch. And just when you think you've got it all figured out, the rug will be ripped out from under you, revealing the story line you didn't even know was there.
