A Lesson in Reunions and Murder

De: David Unger PhD

Narrado por: Jake Austin Robertson

The eighth installment of the popular Lesson series—featuring therapist, professor, and reluctant sleuth David Unger.

David reluctantly joins members of his high school bridge club at their 20th class reunion in the hope of solving a personal mystery from his own past. But reuniting soon delivers a few unwelcome truths, and fear sets in when a classmate is found dead.

As old rivalries and resentments flare, the gathering on the Queen Mary in Long Beach for a weekend of memory-making brings forth more murder. David enjoys a high school flashback with an old flame but is left with more questions than answers.

The posse is on hand to help, but death won’t leave the party, and while David floats a few theories, he struggles to get past his own bias.

Playing his cards close to his chest, he seeks to bridge the gap between truth and lies.

Can he trick the killer into revealing their hand before they strike again?

David Unger’s stream of consciousness in the main character helps the reader not only understand the protagonist but we get a look inside the writer and ourselves. The book is sexy and humble, tense and funny. David’s journey to the last two chapters points out how being jaded and having a lack of empathy can be deadly. The best part of the ending was how David Unger helped us understand the power of restorative justice and women’s issues.

I love how you can always count on Dr. Unger’s books to provide you with an entertaining escape from the day’s trials and tribulations. He scores again with this one. A delightful whodunnit filled with wit, humor, and psychological insight. And, what fun to be reminded of the music of the times including Sonny & Cher and Herman’s Hermits. And, as always, Jake does a fantastic job of capturing the characters’ essences in his telling of the tale. Enjoy!
