About this ebook

From USA Today bestselling author Leslie Langtry comes the funniest high school reunion you've ever attended!

 

"Welcome Back to Who’s There, Iowa, Who-rish, to your 10 Year Reunion!”

 

A 10 year high school reunion happens only once, and to many, they can be a nightmare of revisiting past slights, humiliating moments and the class paste-eater—aka Officer Kevin Dooley. But ex-CIA agent turned Midwestern Girl Scout troop leader Merry Wrath figures that when you’ve been undercover with Colombian drug lords, embedded with Yakuza, and chased by an armed chicken through Chechnya, how bad could it be? Even her scout troop gets in the game by handling registration with overly enthusiastic weapons searches and background checks.

“Old friends are waiting to see you again!”

But there’s more going on than the tradition of spiking the punch. It doesn’t take long before the loathed Class President threatens to reveal dangerous secrets, half the class starts hallucinating, and they all find themselves locked into the gym by a murderous ninja janitor. And since there wasn’t a Most Likely to Murder the Prom Queen category in the yearbook, Merry has to move fast to make sure there are enough classmates left for a 15 year reunion!

Ratings and reviews

It's Merry's high school reunion! A group of random people come together for the event, including four of the Girl Scouts - and my favourite one - Betty! When the doors are locked from the outside, meaning no one can leave, and a guest is found murdered, it's up to Merry and her girls to help find the killer among them. Merry books are always fun to read! This one was entirely set in one venue, but it didn't make it any easier to figure out who the culprit was. Betty, as usual, was awesome, and seems to learn new, scarier skills each day. Another fun Merry (& Betty!) story!

It's a killer high school reunion in Mascots Are Murder. Locked in the gym with a killer, Merry has four able assistants in her girl scouts with serious skills. As always the girl scouts are enthusiastic about unmasking a killer. Despite murder, this will be the funniest reunion you ever attended. With a ton of suspects and more plot twists than I could count, you will be kept guessing until the end in this well written caper.
