Eleanor Jones is Not a Murderer

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Eleanor Jones is Not a Murderer by Amy Doak is a fast-paced YA murder mystery, reminiscent of the works of Karen McManus, Holly Jackson, and Fleur Ferris.

Eleanor Jones has just started at her ninth high school in less than five years. Since she and her mum are always moving on, Eleanor likes to stay on the outer, to stay invisible. Maybe it's just bad luck that the very first person she talks to at Cooinda Secondary College, Angus Marshall, is stabbed and left for dead the same day. The last message on Angus's phone is from Eleanor Jones.

After being interviewed by the police, Eleanor realises they don't have all the facts and decides to investigate. In trying to understand what happened to Angus, Eleanor inadvertently becomes involved with an eclectic group of fellow students—all of whom have their own reasons for wanting to solve the mystery.

As they slowly unravel Angus's secrets, Eleanor discovers the true meaning of friendship and uncovers a danger lurking at the heart of the town.
