Murder, Great for My Social Skills

While many teenagers might think their parents are cringe, 14-year-old Caroline can say with absolute certainty that her parents are the COATs (The Cringiest Of All Time). But if she wants her Revolut card topped up, then she is forced to help her mother with their car boot sale stall once a month. A task also meant to improve Caroline's poor social skills. She despises everything about this - the weather, the customers, the risk of being spotted by her peers, and the weird customer who might be following her.

When a dead body turns up at the car boot sale, Caroline is thrust into the middle of a real-life murder case. She must suppress her antsy attitude and join forces with her brothers, along with her friends, to unravel a series of clues and solve the case. Hiding stolen evidence, deceiving the police, navigating the alien world of Facebook and racing through the countryside, the group of friends close in on the answers.
With its fast pace and lovable teen characters, this murder mystery hits different. It is full of action and will treat you to both laugh-out-loud and edge-of-your-seat moments, keeping the reader guessing and glued to the page.
