Marie Antoinette Serial KillerAuthor: Katie Alender
Publisher: Scholastic
Release Date: September 24, 2013
Synopsis from Goodreads:
Colette Iselin is excited to go to Paris on a class trip. She’ll get to soak up the beauty and culture, and maybe even learn something about her family’s French roots.
But a series of gruesome murders are taking place across the city, putting everyone on edge. And as she tours museums and palaces, Colette keeps seeing a strange vision: a pale woman in a ball gown and powdered wig, who looks suspiciously like Marie Antoinette.
Colette knows her popular, status-obsessed friends won’t believe her, so she seeks out the help of a charming French boy. Together, they uncover a shocking secret involving a dark, hidden history. When Colette realizes she herself may hold the key to the mystery, her own life is suddenly in danger . . .
Acclaimed author Katie Alender brings heart-stopping suspense to this story of revenge, betrayal, intrigue — and one killer queen.
Why I'm Excited:
I'm pretty sure that title says it all. I love books that uncover dark, secret histories. And I seriously love this cover. The candy colors. The blurb that "Heads Will Roll." This looks hilarious.
