Totally Deceased by Sue H. Cunningham
“How many weeks before the ghost of your unspeakably generous organ donor ascends the glitter escalator to heaven, Jess? Six weeks? Eight? Or maybe never unless you bloody well help her find out why she was murdered…”
If you love the combination of humour and tightly-plotted, edge-of-your-seat drama, then Totally Deceased is the book for you; you’ll be thinking about Tilly and Jess long after you close the last page.
Good Girl, Bad Blood by Holly Jackson
Pip Fitz-Amobi is not a detective anymore. With the help of Ravi Singh, she released a true-crime podcast about the murder case they solved together last year. The podcast has gone viral, yet Pip insists her investigating days are behind her. But she will have to break that promise when someone she knows goes missing.
The equally gripping and compelling sequel to A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder, this book will take you on multiple twists and turns.
Lying About Last Summer by Sue Wallman
Skye’s sister died last year in a tragic accident, so this summer Skye’s parents think that a camp for troubled teenagers might help her process her grief. All of the kids at the summer camp have lost someone close, but the last thing Skye wants to do is think about the past. But when Skye starts receiving text messages from someone pretending to be her dead sister, she knows the past can’t be avoided…
Lying About Last Summer is a gripping whodunnit with a twist, with an intriguing cast of characters that will keep you guessing who the culprit is.
The Inheritance Games by Jennifer Lyn Barnes
Avery has a plan: keep her head down, work hard for a better future. Then an eccentric billionaire dies, leaving her almost his entire fortune. And no one, least of all Avery, knows why. Now she must move into the mansion she’s inherited. It’s filled with secrets and codes, and the old man’s surviving relatives – a family hell-bent on discovering why Avery got ‘their’ money.
This addictive and twisty thriller, full of dark family secrets and deadly stakes, is impossible to put down.
Nothing More To Tell by Karen M. McManus
Four years ago, Brynn left Saint Ambrose School following the shocking murder of her favourite teacher. The case was never solved, but she’s sure that the three kids who found Mr. Larkin’s body know more than they’re telling, especially her ex-best friend Tripp Talbot.
This page-turning thriller is a guaranteed hit, and an instant classic.
