A high school reunion comes to an abrupt end when the dead body of the class jock shocks the school's gymnasium in this cozy mystery debut, perfect for fans of Ellery Adams and Eva Gates.

Belinda Bishop is unemployed and single. At thirty-two, her journalism career feels stuck, and let's not even speak about her love life, which isn't helping her look forward to her upcoming high school reunion. Stuck working at her parents' seaside cottage and RV park in Nova Scotia for the time being, she needs time to regroup and come up with a killer story to get her career and her life back on track.

When she literally stumbles across the dead body of the philandering class jock at the reunion, the party quickly comes to a stop. At first, it seems like the perfect opportunity for Belinda to channel her inner Christianne Amanpour, until her childhood-best-friend-turned-nemesis, Jolene Dexter, is declared the prime suspect. Despite their falling out, Belinda is convinced the former pageant queen is innocent.

As the two women struggle to put aside their differences, they have to work together to catch the real murderer before this sleepy coastal town is rocked to its foundations.

This romp of a mystery is perfect for fans of Jenn McKinlay and Benjamin Stevenson.

Reviews for Voted Most Likely to Murder: A Novel

Praise for Voted Most Likely to Murder: “Moone's newshound amateur sleuth is sharp, witty, hilariously over-confident, and (almost) always right. In other words, she's a heroine after my own heart! Voted Most Likely to Murder strikes a perfect balance between high school nostalgia and the kind of cozy mystery shenanigans that should shoot this book to the top of your TBR list.” —Tamara Berry, award-winning author of the By the Book Mystery series
