In Lauren Muñoz's surprising YA mystery "Suddenly a Murder," seven friends enter a 1920s-themed party, but only six are alive by the end of the night. To close out the end of a hectic school year, Izzy Morales gathers her closest friends for a night of Gatsby-style celebration. But instead of dancing the night away in pearls, the teens are dealing with a dead body found alongside Izzy's knife. Years of friendship and loyalty are tested as a police investigation begins, and it turns out this friend group has plenty of secrets that are worth killing over.
