Marie Antoinette, Serial Killer by Katie Alender
Series: N/A
Publisher: Scholastic
Publication Date: October 1, 2013

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.

Murder, Katie Alender (author of Bad Girls Don't Die!), a mystery and a charming french boy? Where do I sign up? I love the idea of Marie Antoinette being a serial killer! I actually like reading books about serial killers...I know, I'm weird. But doesn't this sound awesome?
