Synopsis
A smart, twisty whodunnit from from the author of the scandalous SUDDENLY A MURDER. Perfect for fans of Karen McManus and Holly Jackson.
The dead body should have been fake. But it wasn't. Now there's all to play for....
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. Soon, the game kicks off, and the student playing the victim, Xavier Torres, is found poisoned in the school's greenhouse . . . except his death isn't 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'll have to use caution to solve this mystery. Because these historic halls are full of suspects with no shortage of motives. And the game has turned deadly . . .
