Kate Westons hilarious YA murder mystery is a must Irish Independent
Mean Girls meets Midsomer Murders with a dash of Louise Rennison in this genre-blending story Hysterically funny dialogue and a lighthearted tone. However, what really elevates the goofy capers and over-the-top scheming is how well Kerry and Annie know both themselves and each other. Secrets add depth and complexity to this insightful parody of teenage life. A nuanced, hilarious page-turning romantic mystery Kirkus Reviews
"Channeling the 1980s cult classic Heathers right down to the croquet set, Weston flaunts cozy English charm and puerile slapstick comedy in this propulsive mystery . . . The girls chemistry as best friends and partners-in-crime-solving is energizing. Refreshing attention to sex positivity and period politics combined with Westons timingboth comedic and plot drivenensure a laugh-out-loud romp" Publishers Weekly
Laugh out loud funny, delightfully gruesome and packed with twists, turns and feminism. I loved every minute of it! Amy McCaw, author of Mina and the Undead
