What to expect
Shortlisted for the YA Book Prize!
Sex Education meets A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder in this darkly hilarious YA murder mystery by Comedy Women in Print Prize and Carnegie Medal nominated author, Kate Weston.
‘Fiercely funny, feminist and FUN! I bloody loved it’ M.A. KUZNIAR
There’s never a good time to find a dead body. But finding a dead body while you’re trying to kiss your crush?
Dead awkward.
All Kerry wants to do is stay at home with her rom-coms and strict retainer schedule. Instead, her BFF Annie has roped her into going to their first sixth-form party to investigate who’s cyberbullying Heather, the most popular girl in school.
On the cusp of kissing her dreamy crush, Scott, Kerry discovers the body of Heather's second in command – suffocated with a menstrual cup. Within days, another student turns up dead, this time with a sanitary pad across the eyes. Now Annie and Kerry are officially on the case to stop the menstrual murderer . . . period.
Critics Review
Praise for MURDER ON A SCHOOL NIGHT
“This inclusive feminist tale is thrilling, twisty and hilarious… I’ll never look at menstrual products the same way again!
Fiercely funny, feminist and FUN! I bloody loved it” – M.A. KUZNIAR
‘The snappy dialogue shines and the detective duo’s friendship is well observed and rings true’ – Fiona Noble, The Observer
‘Kate Weston’s hilarious YA murder mystery is a must’– Irish Independent
“Mean Girls meets Midsomer Murders with a dash of Louise Rennison in this genre-blending story… Hysterically funny dialogue and a lighthearted tone. However, what really elevates the goofy capers and over-the-top scheming is how well Kerry and Annie know both themselves and each other. Secrets add depth and complexity to this insightful parody of teenage life. A nuanced, hilarious page-turning romantic mystery” – Kirkus Reviews
“Channeling the 1980s cult classic Heathers right down to the croquet set, Weston flaunts cozy English charm and puerile slapstick comedy in this propulsive mystery . . . The girls’ chemistry as best friends and partners-in-crime-solving is energizing. Refreshing attention to sex positivity and period politics combined with Weston’s timing—both comedic and plot driven—ensure a laugh-out-loud romp” – Publishers Weekly
‘Laugh out loud funny, delightfully gruesome and packed with twists, turns and feminism. I loved every minute of it!’ – Amy McCaw, author of Mina and the Undead
