MURDER ON A SCHOOL NIGHT

Mix a wild teen comedy with an English country-house murder mystery and add a dash of true-crime podcast grit, and you'll come close to this gleeful YA story. When a popular girl enlists Annie and Kerry to catch a stalker, they think they're finally done with being outcasts. But when Kerry's meet-cute moment with the new-kid hottie is interrupted by a dead body, mystery-obsessed Annie is ready to take center stage. Claire Storey's teen portrayals run the gamut from levelheaded but shocked Kerry to overzealous Annie. Storey crafts the secondary characters with convincing portrayals of a wide variety of teens and bumbling, cantankerous adults. It's an edge-of-your-seat laugh-out-loud listen.
