Mystery

A Monday night therapy group brings six women from different walks of life together. Each of them is rich and successful in their present positions and therein lays the problem. They have all reached an impasse in their professions. They need another goal to strive for and to tear them away from their current plateau. When one of them, Ginger, ends up dead outside an all men's club, the remaining five women need closure on her death. Who could have killed Ginger? Why does no one but them seem to be affected by her loss?

Polly, Dinah, Kat, Charlotte, and Justine are drawn closer together by Ginger's murder. Since the police are not interested in investigating her death, the group decides to mete out a little justice of their own. They know that Ginger was a call girl, but who was she with on the night she died? Through resources available to each of them, they are able to piece together pieces of Ginger's life. They learn that she was with three men the night she was killed. The women decide that even if these men did not physically kill her, they need to pay for their inactive role in her murder. Using their connections, they gather as much information as possible about the men. They need to know everything so that the can exact their revenge. How far are they willing to go to punish these men?

Susan Diamond has crafted a remarkable novel. She is meticulous in her writing and her characters are methodical in their revenge. There is nothing like a common goal to bring people closer together even if that goal happens to be revenge. The women's bonds of friendship are strengthened and they gain a deeper understanding into what motivates them. The story had some interesting twists and through it all I was riveted to the pages. This was a very engaging read. WHAT GOES AROUND is a tribute to friendship and ultimate loyalty.

SUMMARY

When the body of bored housewife and high-priced call girl Ginger Pass is found outside the most exclusive men's club in California, the other members of her self-help group—Polly, Kat, Charlotte, Dinah, and Justine—are convinced it was foul play. Determined to find a way to prove it, they track down the trio of rich, powerful men they know are responsible for their friend's death. Hidden behind walls of money, connections, and respectability, these men seem to be untouchable. But like Robin Hood's merry men, King Arthur's knights, and the Girl Scouts rolled into one, the adventurous and brave quintet of women will risk everything to bring these men down.

They know what will happen if they fail. But Polly, Kat, Charlotte, Dinah, and Justine don't count on the ways their lives will change when they succeed. What goes around comes around . . . and Ginger's friends may finally get the lives they most want.
