Murder Mysteries
I got a...

I got a ton of books for Christmas.  I finished Murder Most Unladylike yesterday and it was amazing! Murder mysteries being my favorite kind of book, I do seem to get a lot of books about girls in old fashioned boarding schools uncovering a crime... but Murder Most Unladylike was completely different from the rest. I highly recommend it to any younger readers (9-13) who enjoy mysterious page turners. 

My mum told me about a really cool one by Agatha Christy about a murder that happened in a small isolated town. It was written in first person, which is quite ordinary for a murder mystery, but was was extraordinary was that the narrator was the one who committed the crime. I haven't read the book myself but it sounds interesting, don't you think?

Does anyone have any recommendations?

Is it a coincidence I was listening to Michael in the Bathroom on repeat earlier today?

I saw "I got a" and couldn't resist.

Is Murder Most Unladylike the same as Murder is Bad Manners? I searched for it on the library, and that's what came up. It says Murder Most Unladylike is its "uniform name", so maybe it has that name in Australia?

Three Times Lucky by Sheila Turnage is a great murder mystery although the plot gets a little tangled near the end. I had to read through it twice before I really understood what happened.
