Laura has decided that since her daughter is grown and she is on her own, she will go on the trip to Tuscany for the Reunion of her college class.  Reunited with her old roommate, things turn a bit strange when an old professor from the college is invited and then turns up dead.

Laura and Cynthia work to discover which of their classmates was responsible while keeping everyone in the dark that the death was murder and not an accident.

Very interesting ending.
