The rumor mill has never been kind to Meadowvale High seniors and best friends Rick and Martina, labeling them outcasts (sure), stoners (no comment), and pranksters (okay, this one’s fair). But for the most part, they have successfully flown under the radar.
That is, until they’re targeted in a prank that replaces yearbook superlatives with grisly forecasts of student and faculty deaths. Sure, Rick and Martina were never going to be voted Most Likely to Succeed . . . but Homecoming’s Cutest Corpses? Thanks for the cute, no thanks on the corpse.
At first, the senior class is annoyed by the prank. But when the body of Mr. Stephens, Most Likely to Sleep with the Fishes, is dredged from the bottom of a lake, suspicions arise that something truly sinister is going on. And as more people turn up dead in the exact ways the yearbook promised, it becomes clear someone’s killing off the student body one page at a time.
Now Rick and Martina must find the yearbook killer before their vicious superlative comes true. So much for surviving high school without drawing attention. Now Rick and Martina just want to survive.
In Most Likely to Murder, the annual yearbooks come out with an unusual "most likely to..." list. This one seems to predict the deaths of some of the seniors. Rick and Martina are accused of being the pranksters. When the first one one the list dies, the others on the list realize they must band together to solve who wrote the list before someone else dies.
I actually really enjoyed this one. The teens weren't annoying even though they all fall into the stereotypical high school roles. I was definitely kept guess because the reveal did kind of come out of nowhere. But, it did make sense in the end. I really enjoyed the friendship between Rick and Martina. There is also a cute little romance in here. I would recommend this one to lovers of YA mysteries. I think it would make a good movie.
