Description
In this delightful dark comedy debut, when the members of an LGBTQ+ club find themselves accidentally framed for attempted murder, it’s up to them to clear their names before it’s too late.
It’s kind of hard to graduate high school when you’re the prime suspect in an attempted murder.
Seventeen-year-old Eleanora Finkel just wants to finish her senior year and get the hell out of Texas. But when her club meeting inconveniently coincides with an attack on the school’s head cheerleader, she and her friends find themselves in the hot seat.
In order to clear their names and ensure the survival of their club for future queer teens, they’ll have to track down the real culprit themselves. But Eleanora is far from a professional detective; she’s riddled with anxiety, annoyingly attracted to the case’s cute victim, and her trusty crochet hook feels insufficient for fighting off a murderer. Can this ragtag group of unlikely sleuths find their way out of an entire freaking murder mystery before one of them is next?
About the Author
CL
Montblanc is a writer, producer, and escape room enthusiast who dominates at Jackbox game nights but can easily be defeated in physical combat.
They are passionate about writing fun queer mysteries for young audiences, and are only moderately interested in cultivating skills related to hand-to-hand sparring.
If you wish to engage CL in a brawl, they will be waiting in the Arby’s parking lot at 6pm tonight. Although they originate from Texas, this will, in fact, be CL’s first rodeo.
