When everything's going right, it's a sure sign that things are about to go very, very wrong
 Rachel
Benjamin's life might look glamorous but she has worked
into the early morning on more nights, canceled more weekend
plans and slept in more Holiday Inns in small industrial
towns than she cares to count. (Standard practice in the
business of mergers and acquisitions.) And that picture
of her on the recent cover of Fortune? It inspired a reprise
of her grandmother's favorite lecture, the one titled "You
don't want to be one of those career gals, do you?" (Other
popular hits include "Have you met anyone nice?" and "I
just want to go to a wedding before I die.")
 But this week
Rachel's job is taking her to Boston, where in between
work obligations she plans to squeeze in quality time with
her promising new boyfriend. They've just hit the six-month
mark and things are going so well, Rachel's not even worried
anymore that she'll jinx it.
There are just a few little
problems: Her friend's been attacked and a serial killer
is on the loose – and the two might actually be
related. Oh, and her promising new boyfriend? He seems
to be squeezing in quality time with his new gazelle-like,
model-material colleague...Now Rachel's making like Miss
Marple again, trying to track down her friend's assailant
– not to mention get a clue about her relationship. When
she stopped worrying about jinxing things, did she jinx
everything?
