An Instant USA TODAY Bestseller!



In this laugh-out-loud murder mystery, three women dating the same man band together to get revenge, but when they discover his body, they'll need to solve his murder before they go down for it.



The body in the closet was going to be a problem. Kathryn Hu knew it. Yes, Tucker Jones was a cheating scumbag, and yes, she'd agreed to meet Olivia and Elle--Tucker's other girlfriends--to exact revenge for all he'd put them through... But then they found him. Dead.



Do they look guilty? Yes.



Do they feel guilty for having wished him dead just hours before? Maybe a little.



But--solid motive and a crime scene covered in their DNA aside--they're innocent. They swear.



To clear their names, Kat, Olivia, and Elle team up to find the real killer. But as they go undercover and lie to everyone, including the hot detective working the case, they realize that every person in their ex's life had a reason to want him dead. Will they uncover the truth before they go down for a murder they didn't commit?



Filled with humor and shenanigans, The Ex-Girlfriend Murder Club is a romp of an adventure by award-winning author Gloria Chao, perfect for fans of Dial A for Aunties, Finlay Donovan Is Killing It and John Tucker Must Die.

Publishers Weekly Review

YA author Chao (Ex Marks the Spot) makes her adult debut with this fast and funny murder mystery. Kat Hu is madly in love with Tucker Jones. So is Olivia McCarthy. Both women think Tucker is about to propose to them, and he does--to each, separately, without letting one know about the other. Then there's Elle Henderson, who recently met Tucker on Tinder. When the three women find out about one another, they commiserate and hatch a plot to trash Tucker's condo. During their raid, however, they stumble upon Tucker's dead body, and realize they could be blamed for killing him. When handsome detective Adrian Birch finds Kat cleaning up their mess, she becomes a suspect, and the trio bands together to find the real killer and clear her name. They soon find out Tucker was embezzling money from a long list of acquaintances, so there's no shortage of people who might want him dead. Chao's heroines--particularly the idiom-obsessed Kat--make for lovable sleuths, and the author throws plenty of effective plot twists in their path. Cozy fans will devour this breezy, bloodstained ode to female friendship. Agent: Kathleen Rushall, Andrea Brown Literary. (June)
