Suddenly a Murder

Seven friends throw a 1920s themed party, where it’s all pretend . . . until one of them is murdered.

“A can’t miss for mystery fans.”—Kathleen Glasgow, New York Times bestselling author of Girl in Pieces and The Agathas

“An unputdownable, bittersweet whodunit.”—Kirkus Reviews

Someone brought a knife to the party.

To celebrate the end of high school, Izzy Morales joins her ride-or-die Kassidy and five friends on a 1920s-themed getaway at the glamorous Ashwood Manor. There, Izzy and her friends party in vintage dresses and expensive diamonds—until Kassidy’s boyfriend turns up dead.

Murdered, investigators declare when they arrive at the scene. And every party guest is a suspect.

The girlfriend, in love.
The other girl, in despair.
The old friend, forlorn.
The new friend, distressed.
The wild card, an enigma.
And Izzy—the girl who brought the knife.

To find the killer, everyone must undergo a grueling interrogation, all while locked in an estate where, suddenly, the greatest luxury is innocence.
