A murder mystery game turns deadly in this YA whodunit by the author of Suddenly a Murder.
For fans of Karen M. McManus, Maureen Johnson, and Holly Jackson.
Everyone in town knows about the game. For decades, J. Everett High has staged an annual murder mystery to put its criminology students to the test. And this year, crime junkie Dulce Castillo is dead set on winning. When the game kicks off, the student playing the victim, Xavier Torres, is found poisoned in the school’s greenhouse . . . except his death is not pretend. It’s murder. When the authorities open an investigation, all the evidence points to Sierra Fox, Xavier’s ex-girlfriend and Dulce’s ex-best friend. Claiming innocence and desperate to clear her name, Sierra begsDulce to look past their bad blood and find the culprit. After all, Dulce knows this school better than any investigator ever could, but she must use caution to solve this mystery. Because these historic halls are full of suspects with no shortage of motives. And in this game of cat and mouse, the other player kills.
Praise for Very Dangerous Things:
"Dark academia meets classic detective fiction in this clever, twisty page-turner." —Karen M. McManus, #1 New York Times bestselling author of One of Us Is Lying
“Muñoz’s blend of suspense and romance set at a criminology school is sure to hook readers, while her expertly plotted thrills will have even the staunchest mystery aficionados guessing until the very end!” —Chelsea Ichaso, author of The Summer She Went Missing
“Muñoz has crafted a brilliant mystery with well-drawn characters and an excellent backdrop. I couldn’t put it down!” —Carrie Doyle, author of The Murder Game
“Twisty, clever and so much fun—Very Dangerous Things is everything I love in a whodunnit!” — Kara Thomas, author of The Cheerleaders
Lauren Muñoz is a writer, lawyer, and former teacher living in Southern California.
