""While Sellet is no stranger to writing YA, this first foray into a cozy mystery serves all the whodunit, quirky characters, and amusing banter the genre calls for. Virginia and Felix play off each other perfectly, adding that extra dash of romance . . . A cozy mystery that readers will delight in and devour, with all the vibes of Jesse Q. Sutanto's Dial A for Aunties and Richard Osman's Thursday Murder Club that teens could want.""--School Library Journal ""With excellent banter, lots of laughs, a wonderful cast of characters, and non-stop intrigue, Sellet cleverly crafts a delightful whodunnit that's just to (perhaps a bit theatrically) die for.""--Justine Pucella Winans, award-winning author of Bianca Torre is Afraid of Everything ""Set against the colorful and humid backdrop of a South Florida old-people artists' residence, Flirting with Murder is an absurdly hilarious (and yes, flirty) take on the amateur teen sleuth genre. On vacation, Virginia just wants to hang out by the pool, LARP ridiculous fake murder scenarios with her grandma's kooky friends, and ignore the fact that the only other teen on site, Felix, is inconveniently hot. But when an actual body shows up in a condo common area, and their grandparents and neighbors become suspects, Virginia and Felix use their history playing live-action Clue to reveal a murderer. Virginia and Felix are the perfect geeky-cute Holmes and Watson, eager to save the place and people they love, and maybe finally admit that the old folks aren't imagining their chemistry--it's real, as is my love of Amanda Sellet's dry, snappy wit!""--Sarah Henning, author of The Lies We Conjure ""Flirting with Murder has everything I love in a good mystery romp--rapid-fire banter, zany characters who keep you guessing, a truly unique setting, and one heck of a whodunnit. Sellet is bringing the magic of cozy mystery to the next generation.""--Jenny Elder Moke, author of She Doesn't Have a Clue ""If Only Murders in the Building had a meet-cute with a swoony YA romance against a Wes-Anderson-movie-esque backdrop, Flirting with Murder would be the delightful result! I've never laughed so much at a murder-mystery, nor cheered so hard for two amateur detectives to kiss already, and that's the magic of Amanda Sellet's wildly entertaining, genre-bending story. I wish I could spend every summer at Castle Claude!""--Kaitlyn Hill, author of Wild About You
