Socialite Molly Lasch is married to Gary, a prominent physician and founder of the Remington Health Management HMO. She's horrified to learn that he has been cheating on her with one of his nurses, even having a child with her. When he's discovered murdered, his head bashed in by a statue and Molly standing over his body, the police assume that she is the culprit. Claiming to have no memory of the events and that she is innocent, Molly agrees to plead guilty to manslaughter rather than face trial over murder charges. She gains early parole and once out, begins to once again proclaim her innocence. Among the reporters is her old college friend Fran, who Molly contacts in hopes that she can help her case. During the course of their investigation the two discover evidence that points towards the true killer being someone else, including evidence that Gary was involved in unsavory dealings. When the mistress is found dead in a parking lot the police immediately suspect Molly, as the two had recently spoken. Release

Critical reception for We'll Meet Again was generally favorable. Reviewers for the Star Tribune and Wisconsin State Journal both praised the novel, with the former stating that while the novel is formulaic it "works" as "What's wrong with a formula? Certain tactics become formulas because they work every time." A reviewer for the Associated Press was more critical, as they felt that the novel was "hodgepodge, and not very interesting or well-written." Further reading
