My Thoughts...

I picked up Your Murder Next by Ravena Guron immediately after reading the blurb to my class - we all love a murder mystery, and this one sounded delicious, with backstabbing journalism and a chilling death.

In this book, Myra transfers to a new school, haunted by past memories, and eager to pursue journalism. She falls in with a group of wealthy, popular kids, but when Scarlett, the queen bee, is found frozen to death, only Myra suspects foul play. Determined to uncover the killer, she puts herself in danger, joining a weekend trip with the prime suspects - only to realize there’s more than one murder lurking.

I loved the well-paced plot and its perfect balance of teen drama and murder intrigue. There are plenty of cliffhangers at the end of chapter which tempt you to keep reading.

The parallel timelines (past and present) also keep you hooked. It’s not the simplest book (there are quite a few characters to keep track of), but I'm sure that confident readers will enjoy the challenge.

The ending was not what I saw coming - it actually ties together pretty neatly and I was kept guessing right up to the last few chapters. I almost would have liked a few more chapters, but younger readers will love it!

🌟I’d recommend this to confident readers who enjoy murder mysteries that are gripping but not too gruesome (though multiple deaths await!).🌟

Blurb

When the most popular girl at Myra's new school is found frozen to death in a walk-in chiller, wannabe journalist Myra is sure of two things:
1. Scarlett was murdered.
2. One of Scarlett's friends is to blame.
So she infiltrates the popular clique's world of envy and backstabbing to prove it. But then a strange boy holds her up at gunpoint in the woods, claiming he's killed the killer. Who is he, who did he kill...and who will die next?
