Mondays Are Murder

LoveReading4Kids Says

Seventeen-year-old Kay and her family left their sleepy hometown of Longrove under a dark shadow of grief, hoping for a fresh start in London. But one year on, with her parents jetting off on holiday, Kay is back in Longrove, and not everyone is happy to see her.

When a sinister note from someone calling themselves Monday appears on her bed, promising a week of revenge-laden games which will culminate in her death, Kay doesn’t know what to think. Is it all a weird joke and, if not, who is the illusive Monday? From suspicious ex-friends to the ominous town Committee who are intent on blocking progress, suspects are plentiful, the clock is ticking and not everybody will be alive when it stops.

Full of thrilling twists and unexpected turns this is an gripping YA thriller that will keep you up long into the night. Kay is a great main character – she’s not always likeable, but is a believable and well-developed modern teen. Whilst the town of Longrove perfectly captures the claustrophobia of small-town life, where everybody knows everybody and underlying tensions are rife.

It is easy to see why Ravena Guron is fast becoming a favourite of thriller loving YA readers. Fans of Holly Jackson, Sue Wallman and Karen M McManus will love all twists and surprises that will keep them guessing right to the end.
