Dulce Castillo has a lot going for her. Being educated at a private high school for criminology, Dulce’s intuition has helped her compete at the head of her class in the yearly murder mystery test. When this year’s test turns into a real murder investigation, Dulce has to put her past grievances behind to follow her natural instincts on the path to reveal the killer. Many people associated with J. Everett High School have possible motives. In battling her own assumptions of people, Dulce will learn that the connections between people are more complicated and twisted than she imagined.

Lauren Munoz’s pace for this book clips along. Characters are put into precarious situations, surprising the reader as to who will be the final suspect. Overall, the story is farcical, but still entertaining because the reader will want Dulce to succeed in solving the case, in getting retribution for a previous wrong, and in getting the guy of her desires. This book is recommended as an additional purchase for middle or high school students who like a quick teen-based Law and Order/NCIS escape.
