The entire faculty and student body of Aldrich University, an almost
Ivy League School, is thrown into a panic when the school’s email
system is hacked and the data exposed on a searchable database. Some
people worry their secrets will be revealed, others search the
database avidly hoping to discover dirt on their friends and
associates.
Kit Manning,
daughter of the president of the University and a university fund
raiser, is married to handsome Dr. Greg Strasser. Her emails aren’t
a problem, but it becomes apparent that Greg has been involved with
numerous women, one underage, The hack takes a serious turn when Greg
is murdered in his home during the major fundraising event of the
year.
The story is told
from multiple points of view by people who were damaged by the
revelations, had something to hide, or wanted to use the information
to undermine others. Lynn, a member of the fundraising team, hates
the fact that Kit is the favored one in the department. She’s very
catty and will do anything to get her own way. She’s an amusing
character because she’s so unashamedly self-centered.
The story is full of
twists, just when you think you’ve figured out the murderer, a new
fact crops up. The only problem is that it puts the reveal very close
to the end making the end of the book feel rushed. However, it was a
good mystery with well drawn characters and an interesting setting.
I received this book
from Dutton for this review.
