In The Hall With the Knife

by Diana Peterfreund

**Scarlett. Mustard. Green. Peacock. Plum. Orchard.** **One Storm Will Change Their Lives Forever--If They Survive the Night** **W**hen a killer storm strikes at Blackbrook Academy, an elite prep school nestled in the woods of Maine, a motley crew of students--including Beth "Peacock" Picach, Orchid McKee, Vaughn Green, Sam "Mustard" Maestor, Finn Plum, and Scarlet Mistry--are left stranded in the aristocratic mansion on campus with their headmaster. Hours later, his lifeless body is discovered in a pool of blood. With this group of students, nothing is as it seems, and *everyone* has a motive for murder. Fans of the CLUE board game will delight in Diana Peterfreund's modern reimagining of the brand, its characters, and the dark, magnificent old mansion with secrets hidden within its walls. This description comes from the publisher.
