Product Description:
For Kendra Clayton life is good—for about five minutes. Then her sweetie, lawyer Carl Brumfield, leaves town to help out his sister in Cleveland. Her soon-to-be-married best friend picks out a hideous bridesmaid dress for her to wear (a sequined Smurf-blue nightmare with a bow on the butt). The work she loves as a part-time GED instructor turns into the job from hell when a retired kindergarten teacher with the personality of a piranha becomes her new boss.
And to top it all off, Trish Harmon, aka Detective Trish Harmon of the Willow, Ohio police department, shows up at her class. To say Detective Harmon and Kendra don't see eye to eye is like saying people in hell are a little warm. And now Detective Harmon is looking for Kendra's favorite student, a troubled young man named Timmy who has been straightening out his life.
A pretty local beautician is dead, and Timmy is suspect number one. When he later shows up at Kendra's apartment begging for help, it's only one more step before Kendra's back on the road to trouble again, trying to find out who the real killer is, stepping over the line from a nice safe life into danger. . .and getting tangled in the deadly roots of secrets and desire.

Rating: - Wonderfully written suspense story
After I read, IN the company you keep, I had to read this one. I enjoyed this one much better. Kendra Clayton has once again found herself in the middle of something that she will not let go of. But then she has plenty of time on her hands since her supervisor left to care for her sick mother and she has to deal with the substitte from hell. There are more twist and turns in this book than I can count. Just when I thought who the killer was it changed again. The title is most appropriate becuase ... Read More
