Like many thirty-somethings, Bailey Weggins has a few regrets. But when she runs into Jillian, her former college roommate, she comes face to face with her biggest regret yet. For more than ten years, Bailey has felt guilty for not staying in communication with Jillian after her family was murdered during their sophomore year and Jillian had to leave school. But now that the man accused of the murders has been cleared of the crime, the real killer is walking free, and Jillian is desperate for Bailey's help securing justice for her family. As the two women return to Jillian's childhood town to investigate, secrets from Jillian's past begin to surface. And it doesn't take long before they learn that not everyone is happy with their sleuthing-not the local police, not family friends, and certainly not the true killer. With someone watching their every move, Bailey and Jillian must decide how much they are willing to risk to uncover what happened that terrifying night.

Brooklyn has always been a little obsessed with food, but it was her sister Savannah who became a chef, graduating from the prestigious Cordon Bleu school in Paris. She and her classmates all went on to successful careers, but none of them achieved culinary superstardom like Savannah's ex-boyfriend Baxter Cromwell. When Baxter invites the old gang to participate in his new restaurant's gala opening in San Francisco, Savannah asks Brooklyn to restore a tattered cookbook as a present for him. Shortly after receiving the gift, Baxter is found dead, with Savannah kneeling over him, bloody knife in hand, and the rare cookbook has disappeared. Brooklyn knows her sister didn't kill him, and she suspects the missing cookbook might lead to the real villain.

Conservationist Rachel Carson spent over six years documenting the effects on DDTÄîa synthetic organic compound used as an insecticideÄîon numerous communities. Her analysis revealed that such powerful, persistent chemical pesticides have been used without a full understanding of the extent of their potential harm to the whole biota, including the damage theyÄôve caused to wildlife, birds, bees, agricultural animals, domestic pets, and even humans. In this book, Carson discusses her findings and expresses passionate concern for the future of the planet and all the life inhabiting it, calling on us all to act responsibly, carefully, and as stewards of the living earth. Additionally, she suggests that all democracies and liberal societies must operate in a way that allows individuals and groups to question what their governments have permitted to be put into the environment. An instant bestseller that was read by President Kennedy during the summer of 1962, this classic remains one of the best introductions to the complicated and controversial subject.
