This Book Kills

書中融合了幽默、戲劇性、懸疑和危險元素，節奏緊湊且曲折，具備青春驚悚小說的典型特質，適合喜歡《One of Us Is Lying》和《Pretty Little Liars》這類題材讀者。

故事從主角Jess Choudhary的聲明展開：「我要先說清楚：我沒有殺死Hugh Henry Van Boren，甚至不是幫兇。好吧！或許也不是故意的。」

Hugh Henry Van Boren是Jess所在學校中最受歡迎且最富有的學生之一，某天卻被發現死亡，令校園震驚，大家紛紛猜測兇手會是誰……Jess在學校被要求保持完美紀錄以免失去獎學金，然而當她寫的一篇短篇小說中的角色遭遇與Hugh死法一模一樣時，她成了調查的中心人物。

更令人毛骨悚然的是，Jess收到一則匿名簡訊，感謝她帶來的靈感。

時間一點一滴流逝，Jess知道如果她無法揭開這謎團，她最終將和Hugh Henry一樣.......離開這個世界。

"I'll make it clear from the start: I did not kill Hugh Henry Van Boren. I didn't even help. Well, not intentionally."

When Hugh Henry Van Boren, one of the most popular and richest kids in Jess Choudhary's school, is found dead, the student body is left reeling and wondering who the murderer could be... Jess, a student under strict instructions to keep her record clean or risk losing her scholarship, finds herself at the centre of the investigation when it's revealed that Hugh died in the exact same way as a character in a short story she wrote.

And then Jess receives an anonymous text thanking her for the inspiration.

With time running out, Jess knows if she doesn't solve this mystery she'll finally have something in common with Hugh Henry.

She'll be dead too.
