Description: You Owe Me A Murder Features Book - you owe me a murder Language: english Binding: hardcover Description Product Description Seventeen-year-old Kim gets more than she bargained for when she is set up for murder. Perfect for fans of One of Us Is Lying, E. Lockhart, and Gillian Flynn. Kim never expected to plot a murder. But that was before her boyfriend dumped her for another girl. Now, Kim’s stuck on a class trip to London with him and his new soulmate and she can’t help wishing he was a little bit dead, even if she’d never really do that. But when Kim meets Nicki, a stranger on the plane who’s more than willing to listen to Kim’s woes, things start to look up. Nicki's got a great sense of humor, and when she jokes about swapping murders, Kim plays along—that is, until Kim’s ex-boyfriend mysteriously dies. Blackmailed by Nicki to fulfill her end of the deal, Kim will have to commit a murder or take the fall for one. From School Library Journal Gr 8 Up—When 17-year-old Kim is forced to go on a school trip to London with her ex-boyfriend Connor and his new girlfriend, she seethes. The idea of having to spend months touring around with them is enough to make her want to kill someone. Of course, she would never actually consider that, despite how While waiting at the airport for their delayed flight to board, Kim meets Nicki—British, daring, and sophisticated. On the plane ride, Nicki listens to Kim vent about her ex and shares her own troubles with a controlling, alcoholic mother she wishes would disappear. Nicki even jokes that she could kill Connor, in exchange for Kim killing her mother. But when Connor is killed by a train a few days later, Kim wonders if it was an accident or if Nicki could have been serious. This contemporary thriller will draw young readers in immediately, as they try to figure out what really happened. The pacing keeps the narrative moving along while leaving room for suspense. The ending, while perhaps too tidily wrapped up, is unexpected. VERDICT This solid thriller will appeal to fans of E. Lockhart's books and Karen M.

ONE AUGUST 15 16 DAYS REMAINING I plotted murder in the Vancouver airport while waiting at gate D78 for my flight to London. Based on the expressions of the people around me, I wasn't the only one thinking of how to do someone in. Our flight was delayed and everyone was irritated and restless. The couple at the end of the row were fighting about which one of them had forgotten to lock the bedroom window before they left. Then there were at least a half-dozen people wanting to take out the toddler wearing the SpongeBob T-shirt, who vacillated between shrieking at a decibel normally used to torture dogs and running around slamming into everyone with his grimy hands. The old guy across from me snarled, baring his yellowed teeth, every time the kid whirled in his direction. You'd think that would freak the toddler out, but it didn't seem to make any impact. Maybe the little boy got his ability to ignore unpleasant things f About Us We are uniquely positioned to offer the best prices on thousands of America's most popular items.
