Murder most horrid…and two socially isolated friends determined to do their bit to solve the crimes in a rather eccentric story.
In the quiet village that Annie and Kerry live in, nothing ever happens. They’ve just started 6th form and find themselves determined to find a way to get popular. Their way in lies with Heather and her gang, but nobody could have foreseen the events that unravel here.
When they’re invited to a party Kerry is excited to get the opportunity to get a kiss from new boy Scott. What she wasn’t expecting was to discover the body of Selena, Heather’s best friend.
We quickly learn that someone is out to cause chaos. Bodies turn up where you least expect them and the police are convinced Kerry’s crush is responsible.
Once we find out the truth I found myself open mouthed at the sheer unlikelihood of any of this happening. However, as I was reading it I found myself caught up in this snarky duo’s investigation.
Thanks to NetGalley for giving me the chance to read and review this before publication.
