Chiana Ryan is an almost 13-year-old wannabe crime writer. When a babysitter friend discovers a dead body in her garden, Cha decides to use all her super-sleuth talents to hunt down the murderer—and just maybe win the online crime-writing contest with her story. First, there’s the suspicious pink handkerchief with the letter K embroidered in the corner. Then a bent old man in a grey cardigan and baggy trousers tells Chiana all about the two aliens who landed their spacemobile on the church roof. And what about the disappearing body that turns up two days later in the garden shed?
Murder Sucks is a fun-filled adventure of zany clues and fishy red herrings all pointing away from whodunit. SUITABLE FOR AGES 8 AND UP
