About this listen

Yearbook superlatives turn deadly in this darkly funny young adult thriller.

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.

For fans of Holly Jackson, Karen M. McManus, and Danielle Valentine!

Critic reviews

“Steadily suspenseful and occasionally gory . . . A pulpy, satisfying, and horror-filled page-turner.” —Kirkus Reviews

“The banter between Rick and Martina is wry and hilarious . . . A whodunit for suspense fans unafraid of dark humor.” —Booklist

“Lish McBride's high-concept teen slasher, Most Likely to Murder, is as full of heart as it is dead bodies. The characters are so endearing you won't want to see them meet their grisly ends, but don't get too attached because, you know, someone is Most Likely to Murder them. Sweet, suspenseful, and hits all the murdery notes. Highly recommended.” —Kendare Blake, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Anna Dressed in Blood

The subversive slasher you need in your life, Lish McBride’s Most Likely to Murder is murderous, shocking, and packed with heart.” — Chelsea Conradt, USA Today Bestselling Author of The Farmhouse

“Combining thrills, chills, and a whole lot of witty banter, Most Likely to Murder will scratch the Scream-shaped itch in every horror lover’s heart!” —Caleb Roehrig, author of The Fell of Dark

“With horrors lurking down every hall, characters that will have you second guessing their every move, and classic, Lish McBride humor, Most Likely to Murder is an absolute thrillfest. It had me racing to the last page!” —Kristen Simmons, Bram Stoker Award-nominated author of Article 5

“Quirky banter meets gruesome bloodshed—a surprisingly delightful combination that makes this book Most Likely to Keep You Up at Night!” —Marissa Meyer, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Lunar Chronicles
