Book – Buzz Kill (2014)

Book – **** Beth Fantaskey’s YA story is set at school where an unpopular coach is murdered after Millie Ostermeyer, the protagonist, has already made a list of the people who would like to do him in, including her father. This book, in tone, style, and incidental romance is very similar to my YA mystery/thriller, Wasted in Waldport, though my story ranges all over Oregon, from Portland court rooms to coastal logging camps. Both our books have important father figures and difficult detectives the protagonist must deal with. Buzz kill was a quick and enjoyable read.
