Dead and Confused by Joanna Fluke

Nicole Barton's debut novel Dead and Confused is a movie-shopped mystery set in 1977. Jesse Poudon has recently left college, moving back after her grandfather's death to help her grandmother run the family video store. When the body of her ex-boyfriend from middle school is discovered murdered, it looks like Ben is a prime suspect. Can she catch the killer before Ben or herself winds up in jail or even murdered themselves? The book will appeal to movie lovers, fans of 90s nostalgia with an alternative lien, love for well-formed LGBTQ plus characters, and anyone looking for light-hearted mystery.
