Publisher's summary

"Killers walk among us. Statistically, at least one of them knows your name…"

Beatrice Fletcher is obsessed with unsolved murders in her small town of Cabot Cove, Maine, like her great-aunt Jessica, the famous mystery writer. But when her best friend Jackson goes missing, this time the mystery is personal.

Then Jackson fails to show up for a late night meet-up, and instead, Bea stumbles upon three students from the elite Broadmoor Academy: overly friendly and slightly vicious Leisl, her aloof twin brother, Leif, and Carlos, who knows more about, well, everything than he’s letting on. They’re worldly, secretive, and big on playing games like tenace, the hush-hush Broadmoor tradition where anything or anyone can be a clue to future fame and fortune, and players will stop at nothing—including murder—to get ahead.

If Bea wants to find Jackson, she too must join the game and play to win. Everyone in Cabot Cove has secrets, and it’s up to Bea to ferret them out before it’s too late in this thrilling modern update of the classic television show.

Don’t waste your time (or money)

Terrible story line. Not interesting and certainly not of “murder she wrote” caliber. Will not be purchasing any more of this series that is moving in this more modern direction. Murder she wrote is Jessica fletcher. Not these new characters. Extremely disappointed

Uninteresting and angsty

I really wanted to like this book but I just didn’t. The author spend so much time in personal reflection and discussion of her anxiety that it makes the entire read difficult. There are too many loose threads and though several of them seem to be tied up, it just didn’t make for a very interesting story.
