YA
Callie is found kneeling beside the body of her classmate and holding a knife. Afraid she'll be charged with murder, Callie takes off, hoping she can figure out who the killer is before she's caught. A mean-girl backstory is implausibly sordid, but the smoothly unfolding mystery has all the elements of a good whodunit, including an ending that's satisfyingly unexpected.
