The Agathas meets Thursday Murder
Club in Amanda Selletâs next YA novel, a cozy mystery with a splash of
romance.
Some people visit Florida for theme parks and beaches. High school junior
Virginia Tillis is there for murder. Accidents, electrocution, tainted hand
lotion: every victim meets a different end at her grandmother Laineyâs rococo
pink condo. Such is life (and death) when you roll with a crew of theater
retirees who roleplay murder mysteries from the comfort of their own home in a
game they fondly call Killing Me Softly.
But this summer, fictional murder has given way to the very real death of the
building's beloved owner and his dramatic last testament has the vultures
circling, from estranged relatives to sleazy property developers, dead set on
getting the most from his will.
Adding to the tension for Virginia is the appearance of Felix, the cute guy she
met at the airport who turns out to be the grandson of one of the condoâs
residents. With his charm and musical theater chops, heâs the person Virginia
most wants to beat at Killing Me Softly. That is, until the day they discover
an actual dead body while playing the game, forcing them to work together to
figure out whodunit.
In this comedic mystery about finding the Watson to your Holmes, Virginia and
Felix must banter their way from rivals to co-detectives in time to save their
eccentric grandparents from a shocking disruption to the community they've
always loved.
