Now Maria must face the harsh truth that one of the townâs residents killed Meritta, and friends Maria has known for decades all harbor their own murderous motivesâeven Johnny, her gorgeous former crush who almost makes her forget about her long-distance boyfriend, Antti, who is studying in Chicago.
