Yes ... I read another book tied to As the World Turns. It all starts at one of the biggest events of the year. The hospital is hosting a major gala to recognize a local famil for many, many years of financial support. The Marron family is one of the wealthiest in America, but they have nothing on the rest of the people in Oakdale. It really becomes clear when Gregory Marron, Jr arrives, not-so-fashionably late. When he goes to step out of his limo, he ends up collapsing. He is dead of poisoning, and their is no shortage of possible suspects as it turns out that Gregory had no shortage of enemies.

Katie Peretti, the event's planner, worries about the possible involvement of her boyfriend Mike Kasnoff. While few would question his integrity, he seems to have some sort of secret tying him to the Marrons, and whatever it is, it involves bad blood.

Maddie Coleman worries her brother might be involved. He was Gregory's limo driver, and his fingerprints have turned up on the wine bottle that contained the poison. He also owed the Marrons a ton of money.

Carly Snyder has a bad feeling about her husband Detective Jack Snyder. She had a romantic past with Gregory, and he got into a fight that included less than polite comments about her reputation with her husband about it. Could Jack have done something to make sure that Gregory didn't spread the word around? It would not have been the first time he broke the law to protect her.

Then there is Gregory's family. There seems to be no lack of dislike among him, his father, his wife, and his stepdaughter.

The Oakdale police, under Jack's leadership are on the case, but Katie, Maddie, and Carly feel like they will have to put their differences aside and get down to the root of things in order to protect the men in their lives.

As with the last book I reviewed relating to the show, this book really does a great job capturing the feel for all the characters. It is also a pretty good mystery, too.
