It’s not all sunny days sipping martinis! As the story unfolds, the member’s lives begin unraveling – one-by-one. And then it happens – another murder, not in their immediate club, but someone they all know.
Is someone out to damage the Bookers? Is it someone within their own circle? An outsider with an axe to grind?
As each member quietly suspects one of their own, jealousy and backbiting ensues. They should be banding together — there’s safety in numbers — but trust is non-existent within their once close-knit group.

The 4 remaining women go to extremes when threatened or betrayed. Revenge has no fury like a woman scorned X 4!
