Publisher's summary

Nora and her two best friends, Liv and Nina, aren’t like most people. Nora is the private school kid - the rich girl, though everyone hates her. Liv and Nina attend the run-down public school on the opposite side of town where the football team is a solid two and the art department was shut down due to funding. Their worlds should have never collided, but they had one common factor that brought them together: murder.

In an online mystery chat room, the three girls meet and decide to form the Murder Club. Each week, one of the girls must come up with a murder scenario for the other two to solve. It’s fun. It’s active. It’s also deadly.

When one of Nora’s classmates ends up dead, she’s suspicious of her new friends. His death mirrors the very same scenario Nora came up with in their previous meeting. As clues emerge, pointing more definitively at the members of the Murder Club, Nora begins digging for her own clues, bringing fantasy to reality. Could Liv and Nina be involved, and if so, why?

They were all curious. Was one of them too curious?

Murder Mystery Club

Wow this book kept me on my toes the entire time. I can't believe how it ended. This was a great murder mystery. I liked how it started as a club. Then someone committed the murder in real life. I recommend this book.

I loved it!

This was my first Brandy Nacole's book. I liked it! Nora and her friends, Liv and Nina, meet in an online mystery chat room and they decide to form a fictional Murder Club. The mystery begins when a scenario imagined by Nora happens for real. The storyline is well written, original, and intriguing, with an unpredictable ending. I found it captivating to try to guess who was the murderer. The mystery is well built, and unfold at a great pace. I love the family spirit and the friendship in this story. Jennifer O'Donnell did a great job with the narration. She has a beautiful voice, easy to understand. I enjoyed listening to this audiobook.

Fun Murder Mystery Adventure!

I didn't know much about this story going in, but the description caught my interest so I decided to give it a listen. This story was a lot of fun, while also addressing a lot of deeper issues such as anxiety and mental health. The main character, Nora, really goes through a lot of things that are only made worse by figuring out that she has issues with anxiety. A lot of the other characters contribute negatively to that, but there are definitely some stars that are loyal and truly want to help her as she works to unravel what is going on in her town.

This was really well written and a quick mystery that had a few great twists that kept me guessing. I was fairly sure I knew who was doing everything, then was pleasantly surprised when I was wrong, which is always a good sign for me!

Loved this murder mystery!

The only reason I’m giving this book 4 stars is because I didn’t really care for the narrator as much. I’m not saying she did a terrible job or anything, just sounded a bit monotone. Other than that, the book was really good! I literally had no idea that the actual killer would be who it ended up being.. Looks like being a detective needs to be scratched off my list of possible careers 😅 If you wanna get stumped, you should definitely check this book out!

I had no Clue!

OMG This was so good! I've only just started listening to audio books and usually find them hard to get into but had no problems with this one. The narrator, Jennifer O'Donnel did a fantastic job with the different characters and really knocked that ending out of the park!

The actual story itself was also very interesting and unlike most mystery who dunnit's I had a very hard time figuring out the culprit here which made me enjoy it so much more. I really get bored fast if I can straightaway guess who did it.

I was totally engrossed with Nora's character. I felt like she had multiple lives so to speak because it seemed she had to be and behave a certain way at home with her family, then she had to be the "brainiac" at her school for the debate team group, and alas another way with her Murder Club friends. Kinda like folks who don't like for their food to touch on their plates she didn't want her "three worlds" to overlap or come together but then she did have good reason for feeling this way with somebody trying to frame her for murder.

If you love a good mystery grab this one up and sit back and enjoy the ride!

Great Story

This was a remarkable story!! I loved the suspense and the mystery behind the murder!!

The characters were phenomenal!! I found a real connection with Norna and her friends and family. The raw emotions with each character made the story so real life. I loved getting to know all the characters.

The story-line was unforgettable!! Nacole did a fantastic job at keep me in suspense and suspecting everyone just as Norna did. Absolute pure genus!! And the ending...yeah I did not see that coming at all!! That was quite the surprise for sure!! No spoilers here, so you will have to get a copy of the book to find out yourself!!

The narrator was spot on!! I loved how she changed her voice to fit each character. She had a smooth and calming voice that keep my attention and craving to listen to more. She made it feel like I was watching a movie in my mind. I highly recommend this book and the audiobook as well!!

Wow

What a ride! We didn't know who was behind it all until right at the end. The not knowing was gripping for sure! It could have been any number of people. I was on the edge of my seat for sure!

Jennifer O'Donnell did an amazing job with narrating. Her voice was perfect for this part.

A fun romp with the debate

I really enjoyed this book. The main character had an interesting view on the world and her classmates. Her family dynamic was definitely present and you could see how this affected her. Though I liked how close she was with her sister and the fact she did struggle with loving her sister but hating the mental illness and how much of a struggle it made her sisters life. There were times when I wanted to shake some sense into her about who she doubted but I could understand why it was so hard for her to trust people. I loved her friends in the. Murder club and seeing how much they were fascinated by it and how they used their passion to try to understand what had happened. And I enjoyed getting to watch her get closer to people as time went on and she came more of her shell becoming more confident in herself. I didn’t see some of the twists coming which made this even more fun more me. I am curious to see what might happen next for these characters. There is no debate about the fact that I enjoyed this audio book.

much more than i expected

Murder is a Debate is my first foray into the mind of Author Brandy Nacole. This YA murder mystery was souch more than I expected. It is about personal and family growth. Finding your place in your friends and learning who is really your friend. And that ending! I was honestly surprised by the "who done it."

This is a well written, complex story filled with twists, turns, and complications. I will definitely be checking out other books written by Brandy Nacole.

The narrator did a great job bringing the story to life. That final scene was quite intense and she nailed it!
