Ronan Ryan, a former FBI agent, returns to Eastboro for the first time in 10 years to attend the twentieth reunion of his High School class. A celebration with his basketball teammates and a pleasant encounter with a first love is interrupted by a violent act of vengeance. The Five Chimneys Restaurant where the reunion dinner is held becomes a crime scene, but the killer's work is not finished. His other targets include Ronan, Ronan's high school sweetheart and The Eastboro Chief of Police. They join with a jailed computer hacker to try and find the deranged, but clever garage dweller who mercilessly and methodically wreaks terror on the classmates of his past. The deadly class reunion at Eastboro comes to an end in forty-eight tension packed hours after the Reunion Bomber makes his final detonation.
I may never go to a class reunion again. This was a thriller with twists. And the romantic ending was just right. I recommend this book and author to everyone.
Divorcé and former FBI agent, Ronan Ryan, has returned to Eastboro, Massachusetts for his twentieth high school reunion. Ronan is hoping to see his old flame Jennifer Allen, but when Jennifer and other high school friends are targeted by someone known as the Reunion Bomber, Ronan must concentrate on saving lives rather than rekindling a romance.
A Deadly Class Reunion is an entertaining thriller about schoolyard bullying. Author Bill Flynn takes the theme a step further by exploring the feelings and consequences of bullies and victims years later. Flynn has created a straightforward, compelling story that made me think back to my own high school days, as I’m sure it will for many readers.
One quick note: it was a bit distracting to see several typos and the occasional word missing from sentences, but since it’s happened in most novels I’ve read this year, regardless of publisher, don’t let this deter you from reading this book. But maybe you should read it after your own reunion. Enjoy!
