Murder on a School Night

Beschreibung

A hilarious murder mystery?rom-com from author and comedian Kate Weston investigates the sinister side of social media when bullying turns bloody?and a string of classmate deaths by menstrual cup and sanitary pad sets amateur sleuth Kerry hot on the trail of a menstrual murderer. Perfect for fans of Truly Devious and Fleabag. There's never a good time to find a dead body, sure. But what about finding a dead body while you're trying to kiss your crush? Kerry had different plans for her first high school party?like not going. All she wanted to do was stay home in the safety of retro rom-coms and her strict retainer schedule. Instead her BFF, fiercely outgoing mystery-fanatic Annie, has roped her into going to the party to investigate who's cyberbullying Heather, the most popular girl in school. Finding herself getting close with her dreamy crush is odd enough, but when the two of them discover Heather's second in command, Selena, suffocated with a menstrual cup, things get really weird. And when a second student turns up dead, this time with a sanitary pad across the eyes, Annie and Kerry?no matter how much she resists?are officially on the case to stop the menstrual murderer . . . period.

Rezensionen

Praise for MURDER ON A SCHOOL NIGHT

"This inclusive feminist tale is thrilling, twisty and hilarious... I'll never look at menstrual products the same way again!
Fiercely funny, feminist and FUN! I bloody loved it" - M.A. KUZNIAR

'The snappy dialogue shines and the detective duo's friendship is well observed and rings true' - Fiona Noble, The Observer

'Kate Weston's hilarious YA murder mystery is a must'- Irish Independent

"Mean Girls meets Midsomer Murders with a dash of Louise Rennison in this genre-blending story... Hysterically funny dialogue and a lighthearted tone. However, what really elevates the goofy capers and over-the-top scheming is

how well Kerry and Annie know both themselves and each other. Secrets add depth and complexity to this insightful parody of teenage life. A nuanced, hilarious page-turning romantic mystery" - Kirkus Reviews

"Channeling the 1980s cult classic Heathers right down to the croquet set, Weston flaunts cozy English charm and puerile slapstick comedy in this propulsive mystery . . . The girls' chemistry as best friends and partners-in-crime-solving is energizing. Refreshing attention to sex positivity and period politics combined with Weston's timing-both comedic and plot driven-ensure a laugh-out-loud romp" - Publishers Weekly

'Laugh out loud funny, delightfully gruesome and packed with twists, turns and feminism. I loved every minute of it!' - Amy McCaw, author of Mina and the Undead
