Small town murders.

Big time thrills.

The final installment in the suspenseful, modern update of the classic mystery TV series. Perfect for fans of One of Us Is Lying, Sadie, and Gossip Girl.

"What does it mean if our own sense of right and wrong isn't enough to keep us from committing the unspeakable?"

When Beatrice Fletcher joins her father on a work trip to the University of New Mexico, she knows she's sacrificing time with her friends back in Cabot Cove trying to solve the last clue of an enigmatic game they've been playing. Yet it's worth it if it means she can interview celebrated film studies professor William Vance, whose newest documentary touches on a murderous cult, a misdirected bombing, and a tragedy from Bea's mother's childhood.

But when a string of poisonings targets girls in Vance's film program, Bea has more to worry about than ancient family history. Someone knew she was coming to campus and why. And now that she's insinuated herself into the students' circle, could she be next on the hit list? Like her great aunt Jessica, Bea will need cunning and logic to get to the bottom of the attacks and figure out what all of it has to do with the game back home.

And time is running out...

      Teen sleuth and true-crime blogger Bea is back in this third and final entry in the Murder, She Wrote series, this time leaving her home in Cabot Cove, Maine, for New Mexico. Bea is glad when her father invites her to join him on a work trip to Albuquerque. She's looking forward to the opportunity to meet with a filmmaker who teaches at the University of New Mexico. Professor Vance made a docuseries about a cult called the Starlight Society, which may have targeted Bea's mother's family when she was little; Bea's paternal grandfather was part of a network of cult deprogrammers. The new setting combined with the rapid introduction of many new characters creates an appealing departure from the insular feel of the first two books. Tragedy strikes while Bea is in New Mexico, and her unfamiliarity with the people she's surrounded by means that she finds herself in strange situations, creating suspense. Once Bea heads back to Maine, however, the story resolves abruptly. Her return to Cabot Cove feels a bit perfunctory, providing a rushed ending to the ongoing mystery of a sort of scavenger hunt she's been playing with her friends Leisl, Leif, and Carlos. Previous books established some racial diversity among the cast members. An engaging, if choppy, conclusion that offers an understated end to the overarching mystery.(Mystery. 13-18)
