McManus (Goodreads Author) 3.96 avg rating 900,817 ratings. Agent: Rosemary Stimola, Stimola Literary Studio. Main characters cue as white the supporting cast is ethnically diverse. Fast paced, intriguing and juicy, Karen McManus’ latest teen murder mystery is unputdownable. The central whodunit spirals into myriad tertiary puzzles, making for a serpentine read rife with convincing red herrings and ground-shifting reveals. Brynn and Tripp’s candid, emotionally complex alternating first-person accounts enrich character while imparting immediacy and drive. Shortly thereafter, Brynn and her family relocated to Chicago, but now they’re back in Sturgis, and Brynn intends to use her re-enrollment at Saint Ambrose-and her internship-to uncover the thorny truth surrounding Mr. Though fingerprints from one of the trio were found on the murder weapon, the group was purportedly never suspected, and the case went cold. When Brynn was an eighth grader at Saint Ambrose prep school in Sturgis, Mass., three classmates, including Brynn’s estranged best friend, Tripp Talbot, went into the woods and stumbled across the corpse of the school’s popular new English teacher, William Larkin. Desperate for a win after she’s fired from her school newspaper and wait-listed by her dream college, Brynn Gallagher, 17, lands an internship at a true crime TV show by pitching a story from her own past in McManus’s (You’ll Be the Death of Me) most impressive mystery yet.
