The Murder of Bindy MacKenzie by Jaclyn Moriarty

The Murder of Bindy MacKenzie by Jaclyn Moriarty

Bindy MacKenzie is an irritating, self-righteous straight A know-it all!  But she does not deserve to be murdered.  She's just a kid in high school after all, and she has her own problems.  In addition to being an over-achiever, she is keeping a family secret from her father.  Her parents have split up, even though they won't admit it, and she is living with her aunt and uncle.  And she's losing it!  But how and why would someone want to kill her?  This story is told through Bindy's diary and keepsakes.  I enjoyed this book!
