This is the sequel to When All the Girls Have Gone.  I listened to this on audio and enjoyed it.  The story was interesting and the narrator did a good job of telling the story.

Virginia Troy has tried to put her past as a young child in a cult commune behind her.  But now it appears that one of the other surviving members has been murdered and tried to send a message to Virginia before her death.  Virginia asks Cabot Sutter, another child survivor of the cult, to help her investigate whether the cult leader was still alive and what he wants with her.

This is the sequel to last year's book by Krentz -- When All the Girls Have Gone.  It looks like it will be a trilogy with the final book coming out next year.  I enjoyed this book.  It did a good job of keeping your guessing as to who was the ultimate villain of the story.

In 2002, Kate Cypher, a 41-year-old school nurse, returns home to her Vermont hippie commune where she grew up to care for her aging mother, who is afflicted with Alzheimer's disease. Her first night home, a murder takes place behind her mother's cabin—the killing is identical to that of Kate's childhood friend, Del Griswold, who was murdered in 1971. Del was a scrappy outcast in life, shunned and taunted as "Potato Girl." Since her unsolved murder, Del had become something of a local legend, supposedly tormenting the townsfolk from beyond the grave. Kate never revealed her close relationship to Del, before or after her death, unable to stand up to those who pitied or reviled Del. Kate is drawn into the investigation of the modern-day crime, and must revisit Del's original murder, and her culpability in it. Along the way, she realizes that someone is playing games with her: leaving cryptic messages that tell her where to go. By following these clues, Kate re-meets many members of the hippie town she grew up in and relives some of the horrifying times during Del's murder
