As always, a good time. This time the crime spree is around and about the intense competition for high class position in the undeservedly prestigious Elk Park Prep, where both Goldy's son, Arch, and Julian Teller, apprentice chef and adopted stray from the previous book, are students. Arch is a lowly seventh grader, but Julian is a senior and second in his class.
The first murder occurs at a function for seniors and their parents and representatives of prestigious universities. The victim is the boy who stood in first place in the graduating class - and he is strangled with the extension cord from one of Goldy's coffee pots. Of course, Goldy is the one to discover the body. One thing leads to another and she winds up not only in Tom Schulz's police cruiser, but in his bed - and about time, the man has been courting her for three books now.
These events are followed by a series of rather nasty pranks - Goldy's chimney is blocked, her front steps are iced, a snake is hung in Arch's locker along with a threatening message, and that is just for starters. Goldy discovers that several members of the graduating class are hiding some unpleasant secrets - not to mention their parents' secrets.
In the end the villain is dealt with - rather gruesomely -- and Goldy accepts Schulz's repeated proposal.
