Murder on a School Night by Kate Weston

4.5

All Kerry wants to do is stay at home with her rom-coms and strict retainer schedule. Instead, her BFF Annie has roped her into going to a party to investigate who’s cyberbullying Heather, the most popular girl in school. On the cusp of kissing her dreamy crush, Scott, Kerry discovers the body of Heather's second in command – suffocated with a menstrual cup. Within days, another student turns up dead, with a sanitary pad across the eyes. Now Annie and Kerry are officially on the case to stop the menstrual murderer . . . period.

I did not expect to laugh that much reading this book, but I did! This book is easily in the top funniest books I’ve read this year. I’m glad I jumped in blind, because finding all those menstrual references in relation to the murders was gold!

Kerry’s quips, both internal and outspoken, were hilarious! Annie was definitely the BFF I wouldn’t recommend, because she’d always get you in sticky situations inadvertently. However, she was also loyal and lots of fun. So I guess that balanced the experience a bit better for Kerry (kind of).

The murder mystery itself was impressive! I couldn’t guess the whodunnit, and I didn’t know where the story was going (most likely because I was too busy laughing, so my brain was incapacitated). The audiobook narration was great, I loved the British accent!

What I’m going to say is… go and read the book. Especially when you’re in a slump. Or need cheering up on a hard day. I’m going to hunt down the sequel!
