Cover of Innocent Little Crimes

Innocent Little Crimes

Lila Carmichael, outrageous, bawdy comedienne, is a rich and powerful woman in television. But, it's not enough she has everything she desires; for fifteen years she has been obsessively orchestrating payback to five unsuspecting, former schoolmates—"friends" who played a nasty trick on her, and now it's her turn for revenge.

Under the flattering auspices of a cozy college reunion, these unsuspecting classmates are invited to Lila's private island for a weekend from hell where Lila forces them to play a vicious parlor game—a psychological "Ten Little Indians," where one by one Lila's guests are figuratively killed-off. Yet, revenge turns bittersweet when the weekend is over and one guest is dead.
