A high-school murder mystery shaped by secrets and suspicion

At Sierton High, the murder of popular student Ella Moore leaves a crowded field of suspects: her friends, each with a reason to resent her, and new student Dawn Foster, who was the last to give Ella a drink. With the police focused on Dawn, she investigates the histories and rivalries surrounding Ella to clear her name and identify the person seeking revenge. The school setting makes social standing and old grievances central to the mystery, while the threat of another death gives Dawn’s search immediate stakes. Mental illness is also identified among the book’s social themes.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in school-set murder mysteries.
  • Readers who enjoy stories built around multiple suspects, buried grievances, and an investigation led by someone under suspicion.
  • Readers seeking young adult fiction that includes mental illness as a social theme.

Book overview

Someone has murdered the queen bee of Sierton High School. All the dead girl's friends are suspects. And each one has a reason for wanting her to die.

Ella Moore was the most popular girl in school...and also the most hated. When she's murdered at her own party, there are too many suspects to count. And too many people who think she deserved it.

The police's prime suspect is the new girl, Dawn Foster. Dawn was the last to hand Ella a drink on the night she died. Plus, all of Ella's friends with a motive for wanting Ella dead are more than willing to throw Dawn under the bus, if it means keeping the heat off themselves.

But Dawn refuses to go down without a fight. She's determined to clear her name. As she delves deeper into the past, she discovers that Ella and her friends had major enemies, and someone is out for revenge. Dawn must uncover the truth before the police arrest the wrong suspect... and before the next person dies.
