Aspiring sleuths Kerry and Annie are just starting sixth form, but both have much better things to think about than their studies. Annie is obsessed with making this the year she finally becomes popular, and Kerry is smitten by new boy, Scott.

When the most popular girl in school tasks them with finding her cyberbully things start looking up. But when a failed kiss leads to the discovery of a dead classmate, choked with a menstrual cup, things turn serious. The Menstrual Murderer is on the hunt and the bodies soon start piling up.

This is a whip-smart, hilarious, feminist YA thriller. The main characters are endearingly awkward as they muddle through killings and crushes, whilst the popular crowd are deliciously dramatic. With tampons and period pads as the murder weapons of choice, there’s an ongoing theme of periods throughout the novel; this is handled openly, with lots of humour and honesty. Likewise, Kerry and Annie are proud feminists and Weston expertly calls into question the sexism they face as teenage girls.

A fresh take on the YA thriller, mixing suspense with hilarity and social commentary. Perfect for fans of A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder and the books of Holly Bourne.
