Having a hard time deciding what to rate this YA book. I listened to this book while on a road trip
I think the narrator bumps this book up to a 4 because they were able to really get the humor but some parts were a little overdone.

So Murder on a School Night is marketed at the YAs but I struggled to see this being a big draw for anyone over 15. Maybe I'm just reading the room wrong though. Maybe your average 18 year old is far more naive than I give them credit for.
Either way this book (for me) was not harious merely mildly amusing. It also contained so much talk about periods and vaginas and definitions of menstruation that I frankly got pretty fed up. I get that we live in an ever-changing world and people are defining themselves in ever clearer ways but you've told me once, I don't need telling again. I certainly don't need it mentioning every chapter.
The storyline is basic enough to follow easily - someone is killing people using menstrual hygiene products. Noone knows who it is. The Police seem utterly clueless so up step best friends, Annie and Kerry, who become two Marples in order to figure out whodunit and why. All while Annie tries to become popular and Kerry gets involved with new boy, Scott.
For me the story was okay, the characters were fine and the end was nicely rounded. I think it would appeal more to the young end of the YA audience.
Thanks to Netgalley for the advance review copy.
