What to expect
The hilarious, addictive sequel to YA murder mystery Murder on a School Night by Comedy Women in Print Prize and Carnegie Medal nominated author, Kate Weston. Perfect for fans of Sex Education and A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder
‘Kate Weston’s hilarious YA murder mystery is a must’– Irish Independent on Murder on a School Night
School outcasts-turned-detective duo, Kerry and Annie, are BACK – and after solving last summer’s menstrual murders, they’re now known as The Tampon Two. (Kerry is uncomfortable with this level of attention, Annie is refreshing her follower count every two seconds.)
When they attend the Festival of Fame, it’s the chance to meet their favourite feminist influencer IRL – along with a host of social media stars, including a tiresome prankster Timmy, super-glam beauty vlogger Celeste and Mystic Millie, who makes very vague predictions.
But then one of the influencers ends up dead.
The festival goes into lockdown, Annie is delighted that she and Kerry are trapped in a yurt with celebrities – Kerry is more concerned that there’s a killer among them. Will the Tampon Two find out who it is before they strike again?

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
