- Irish Examiner



An addictive thriller from the most sensational new voice
in YA fiction.
When sixteen-year-old Asha Kennedy discovers her older sister
Maya's dead body in their home, her world falls apart. Desperate
for answers, and to stay out of the hands of the social

Her search leads her to Zu Tech, the hit games studio where Maya
was a lead coder. As Asha begins to unravel the riddle of her
death, she realises that the only way to uncover the truth is from
the inside.


Asha ghosts her old life and infiltrates a Zu Tech eSport tournament
as they launch 'SHACKLE', the revolutionary Virtual Reality
video game Maya was working on - and which hides a monstrous
secret...

Girl's Guide to Murder

won't see coming!
