Eight drops to seven and it becomes clear that someone in the group is killing for sport."The plot is squarely in the tradition of locked-room mysteries...Coates is also a horror author, and there's a good dollop of that genre woven through this novel of high suspense. Keep a cat or two on your lap when reading this one." -First Clue
