Publisher's summary

The dramatic and deadly conclusion to the thrilling YA mystery series inspired by the classic board game CLUE!

After a tragic accident at Blackbrook Academy kills one of their own, Orchid, Scarlett, Peacock, Mustard, and Plum are desperate to put the pieces back together and finish out the year. The Murder Crew may have earned their nickname, but the last of their secrets are still coming to light and threatening to destroy friendships, futures, and more. And when another suspicious death rocks the campus, and Blackbrook's dark past crashes into its present, they have a choice: Band together or turn on each other.

Because this year's prom? It's to die for.

wonderful multi endings just like the movie!!

It was not predictable, characters were charming and interesting, and I loved the multi endings.
Wish we could have more than three clue books!!

I want more

I flew through these books. I was hooked by the setting alone. I loved all of the nods to the clue movie and board game. I would love to see more from these characters. More about Beth. And more about the two murder crew couples. As a person from the lbgt community. The relationship between two of my favorite characters really brought this story to life for me.

Come on Diana! Give us another! There’s at least three more weapons to go!

Series went downhill fast after book 1

This book continues the decline in most of the characters as people you are interested in. The mystery is again put in the back burner. Wouldn't recommend to teen readers as it normalizes toxic relationships like Green's and Orchid's. Only character to have decent character development was Plum.
