Seven friends throw a 1920s themed party, where it’s all pretend . . . until one of them is murdered.

“A can’t miss for mystery fans.”—Kathleen Glasgow, New York Times bestselling author of Girl in Pieces and The Agathas

“An unputdownable, bittersweet whodunit.”—Kirkus Reviews

Someone brought a knife to the party.

To celebrate the end of high school, Izzy Morales joins her ride-or-die Kassidy and five friends on a 1920s-themed getaway at the glamorous Ashwood Manor. There, Izzy and her friends party in vintage dresses and expensive diamonds—until Kassidy’s boyfriend turns up dead.

Murdered, investigators declare when they arrive at the scene. And every party guest is a suspect.

The girlfriend, in love.
The other girl, in despair.
The old friend, forlorn.
The new friend, distressed.
The wild card, an enigma.
And Izzy—the girl who brought the knife.

To find the killer, everyone must undergo a grueling interrogation, all while locked in an estate where, suddenly, the greatest luxury is innocence.

"A delicious, twisty, and clever locked-room mystery with loads of glamour and danger that will keep readers rapt until the very end. A can't miss for mystery fans."—Kathleen Glasgow, New York Times bestselling author of Girl in Pieces and The Agathas

"Alongside the central mystery, the author successfully explores a host of serious issues, including substance abuse, risky sexual behavior, and the armor of socioeconomic privilege. . . . An un-put-down-able, bittersweet whodunit."—Kirkus Reviews

"In classic Clue fashion, debut author Muñoz delivers a nail-biting mystery. . . . Muñoz’s attention to class dynamics and interpersonal loyalty anchors the happenings in cerebral themes. By skillfully molding tension via well-placed clues and gripping dialogue, the creator believably cultivates shocking reveals and bittersweet resolutions."—Publishers Weekly

"Agatha Christie meets Karen M. McManus in this suspenseful mystery. . . . Muñoz captures the spirit of the classic mystery, deftly weaving the threads without missing a plot point. A strong debut from a promising new voice.”—Booklist
