Twenty-five years ago, teenage twins Alice and Samantha and their classmate Joey solved helped catch a serial killer, the same one who killed Alice and Samantha's sheriff dad. At that point, they thought they were done with their sleuthing. But now a new murder has occurred in their hometown and brought the trio home. While they all resist the impulse to investigate, they can't help being drawn in by the case, especially as more bodies start to pile up.
The premise of teen detectives returning to the job as adults is a promising one, but unfortunately, this didn't really follow up on it too well. There were several problems in this book, including who the ultimate killer is, though I think that in better hands or with better editing this could've been great. Read the horror novel Meddling Kids by Edgar Cantero if you want a better Nancy Drew/Hardy Boys/Bobbsey Twins vibe.
