Synopsis

A hilarious murder mystery–rom-com from author and comedian Kate Weston investigates the sinister side of social media when bullying turns bloody—and a string of classmate deaths by menstrual cup and sanitary pad sets amateur sleuth Kerry hot on the trail of a menstrual murderer. Perfect for fans of Truly Devious and Fleabag.There’s never a good time to find a dead body, sure. But what about finding a dead body while you’re trying to kiss your crush?Kerry had different plans for her first high school party—like not going. All she wanted to do was stay home in the safety of retro rom-coms and her strict retainer schedule. Instead her BFF, fiercely outgoing mystery-fanatic Annie, has roped her into going to the party to investigate who’s cyberbullying Heather, the most popular girl in school.Finding herself getting close with her dreamy crush is odd enough, but when the two of them discover Heather’s second in command, Selena, suffocated with a menstrual cup, things get really weird.And when a second student turns up dead, this time with a sanitary pad across the eyes, Annie and Kerry—no matter how much she resists—are officially on the case to stop the menstrual murderer . . . period.

“I imagine my tombstone: She met a hottie and alas it killed her.” “Murder on a School Night” was hilarious. I mean, I expected it to be, but I was still pleasantly surprised by the amount of smirks and giggles these pages earned from me. It gave “Mean Girls” and “Pretty Little Liars” for sure, which......more

Thank you NetGalley and HarperCollins for providing me with an ARC! This book was unfortunately a let down. I was so excited to read it and it seemed like something that was right up my ally. The two main characters - Kerry and Annie were fun to follow along, but the plot was lacking. The book broug......more
