Murder on a School Night
Murder on a School Night | Kate Weston
2 posts | 3 read | 1 to read
A hilarious murder mystery–rom-com from author and comedian Kate Weston investigates the sinister side of social media when bullying turns bloody—and a string of classmate deaths by menstrual cup and sanitary pad sets amateur sleuth Kerry hot on the trail of a menstrual murderer. Perfect for fans of Truly Devious and Fleabag. There’s never a good time to find a dead body, sure. But what about finding a dead body while you’re trying to kiss your crush? Kerry had different plans for her first high school party—like not going. All she wanted to do was stay home in the safety of retro rom-coms and her strict retainer schedule. Instead her BFF, fiercely outgoing mystery-fanatic Annie, has roped her into going to the party to investigate who’s cyberbullying Heather, the most popular girl in school. Finding herself getting close with her dreamy crush is odd enough, but when the two of them discover Heather’s second in command, Selena, suffocated with a menstrual cup, things get really weird. And when a second student turns up dead, this time with a sanitary pad across the eyes, Annie and Kerry—no matter how much she resists—are officially on the case to stop the menstrual murderer . . . period.

Kate Weston‘s YA humorous murder mystery is a genuinely funny affair whose main characters wear their feminism on their sleeves as they navigate the perils of unpopularity, first romance and murder. I loved the relationship between Annie and Kerry and the romance element plays out neatly so it‘s a shame that the mystery kinda loses momentum in the final quarter and didn‘t quite work for me. That said, I‘d definitely check out Weston‘s other work.

Hilarious teen mystery in which period products feature prominently. It's absurd and over the top and lots of fun. Be prepared for lots of discussion of periods, period products, and private body parts.
