Shadow Creek by Joy Fielding FIC Fie

     Ms. Fielding always writes a book with an interesting storyline and this one was no exception.  The main character is Valerie.  She is soon-to-be divorced and dealing with Brianne, her teenage daughter who is secretive, snarly and angry about the divorce.  It's Brianne's weekend with her father, Evan.  And he is taking Brianne and his fiancee (can you be engaged if one of you isn't divorced??) to the Adirondacks.  Valerie is planning on a trip for the weekend with friends James and Melissa to celebrate her 40th birthday.  Of course nothing goes as planned.  When the doorbell rings at Val's house it is not Evan, but Jennifer (the fiancee) who was told to meet there.  Because of the always undependable Evan, Val ends up driving all of them to the Inn to meet up with Evan.  It's a nice place but unfortunately there are some serial killers in the area!  The book goes back and forth between Val (et al) and the killers.  I enjoyed the characters and the story.
