Twittercide: the killing of one human being by another while the victim is in the act of tweeting.
Call me crazy, but I figured writing for the Herbert Hoover High Homepage would be a pretty sweet gig. Pad the resume for college applications, get a first look at the gossip column, spend some time ogling the paper's brooding bad-boy editor, Chase Erikson. But on my first big story, things went . . . a little south. What should have been a normal interview with Sydney Sanders turned into me discovering the homecoming queen–hopeful dead in her pool. Electrocuted while Tweeting. Now, in addition to developing a reputation as HHH's resident body finder, I'm stuck trying to prove that Sydney's death wasn't suicide.
I'm starting to long for the days when my biggest worry was whether the cafeteria was serving pizza sticks or Tuesday Tacos. . . .
Social
Suicide is the sequel to Halliday’s Deadly Cool. In this installment, Hartley once again
stumbles upon a body, except this time, everyone thinks Sydney committed
suicide. Except Hartley. She sets out to prove Sydney was
murdered. Hartley is endearingly awkward
in her interactions with Chase and reminiscent of bumbling detectives like
Stephanie Plum, Hartley somehow not only survives, but always gets her
man. Social Suicide is a fun, light-hearted
mystery with just enough suspense to keep you guessing. If you like a mystery with your romantic
comedy, I would definitely recommend any of Gemma Halliday’s books.
In
addition to her young adult mysteries, Gemma Halliday’s thoroughly enjoyable
High Heels series has a new release, Danger in High Heels. You should check it out!
