A murder mystery game turns deadly in this YA whodunit by the author of Suddenly a Murder.
For fans of Karen M. McManus Maureen Johnson and Holly Jackson. Everyone in town knows
about the game. For decades J. Everett High has staged an annual murder mystery to put its
criminology students to the test. And this year crime junkie Dulce Castillo is dead set on
winning. When the game kicks off the student playing the victim Xavier Torres is found
poisoned in the school’s greenhouse . . . except his death is not pretend. It’s murder.
When the authorities open an investigation all the evidence points to Sierra Fox Xavier’s
ex-girlfriend and Dulce’s ex-best friend. Claiming innocence and desperate to clear her name
Sierra begs Dulce to look past their bad blood and find the culprit. After all Dulce knows
this school better than any investigator ever could but she must use caution to solve this
mystery. Because these historic halls are full of suspects with no shortage of motives. And in
this game of cat and mouse the other player kills.
