Susan Sematov loves her younger son Raz, the quirky and free-spirited pitcher of the team. But Raz’s adored father died only a few months ago, and the family is grief-stricken. Secretly, Raz is looking to fill the Daddy-shaped hole in his heart.
Heather Larkin is a struggling single mother who’s dedicated to her only son Justin, the quiet rookie on the team. But Justin’s shy and reserved nature renders him vulnerable to attention, including that of a new father-figure.
Mindy Kostis is the wife of a busy surgeon and the queen bee of the baseball boosters, where her super-popular son Evan is the star catcher. But she doesn’t realize that Evan’s sense of entitlement is becoming a full-blown case of affluenza, and after he gets his new BMW, it’s impossible to know where he’s going – or whom he’s spending time with.
The lives of these families revolve around the baseball team – and Chris Brennan. What does he really want? How far will he go to get it? Who among them will survive the lethal jeopardy threatening them, from the shadows?-Goodreads
Review: I enjoyed this Lisa Scottoline book that takes place in small town Pennsylvania. Chris Brennan is hired as a teacher and varsity baseball coach but we, the reader, know he isn't what he appears to be. I think keeping us in the dark as to his real agenda a little longer would have added some more tension to this book (is he good? nefarious?).
Overall, a good beach (or ski lodge!) read.
Grade: 3/5
