A murderer could be around every corner in this thrilling YA trilogy based on the board game CLUE! When a storm strikes at Blackbrook Academy, an elite prep school nestled in the woods of Maine, a motley crew of students—including Beth “Peacock” Picach, Orchid McKee, Vaughn Green, Sam “Mustard” Maestor, Finn Plum, and Scarlet Mistry—are left stranded on campus with their headmaster. Hours later, his body is found in the conservatory and it’s very clear his death was no accident. With this group of students who are all hiding something, nothing is as it seems, and everyone has a motive for murder. Fans of the CLUE board game and cult classic film will delight in Diana Peterfreund’s modern reimagining of the brand, its characters, and the dark, magnificent old mansion with secrets hidden within its walls.

"It was a cool, quick read. I think who did it made sense (from what I remember). Loved the setting bc it added an element of panic."

"I love Clue, both the game and the movie, so I knew I had to read this! It was a super fun, quick read, and the killer’s identity totally took me by surprise. Great suspense, great character development, and an intriguing set-up for the next book. Highly recommended! :)"

"This was a good book. I enjoyed the play on the original Clue character names and the plot was interesting. I guessed, at least partially, some of the plot but there is room for another story or two based on the ending. I would be interested in reading the next installment."
