Murder on a School Night by Kate Weston


There's never a good time to find a dead body. But finding a dead body while you're trying to kiss your crush?

Dead awkward.

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 their first sixth-form 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, this time with a sanitary pad across the eyes. Now Annie and Kerry are officially on the case to stop the menstrual murderer . . . period.


A dramady full of murder, attempted hookups derailed by said murders, teens switching sides and lots and lots of menustral products.

The coolest girl in school, Heather, is being cyberbullied. Kerry and Annie, on the - er - lower side of the social ladder, are roped into trying to figure out whodunnit. Well, no one is going to even notice that they're around, are they? Heather's mother runs her deceased father's menustral product company, but what does that have to do with the menustral murders? And is the hunky new kid Scott involved? Kerry really hopes not...

A cute, funny and very period thriller romance, with plenty of thrills and twists, including a few that I didn't see coming! Kate Weston is gaining a reputation for writing body positive, funny teen novels, and I can't wait to see what comes next. These are exactly what today's young men and women need to be reading.
