Marie Antoinette, Serial Killer


Alender, Katie. Marie Antoinette, Serial Killer. 2013. 296p. ISBN 0545468094. Available as an eBook on Overdrive.




Colette and her French class are taking a week-long trip to Paris. Her parents recently divorced, and her father moved to New York while Colette, her brother and her mother stayed in Ohio. Now Colette has no money, and attends her private school on a scholarship. Her rich friends are mean and catty, and Colette tries to fit in with them while on a budget.


On their arrival in Paris, they hear of two gruesome murders that have just happened. Two teens have been decapitated by a serial killer. At first Colette and her friends are not worried, but as the days pass by others continue to die. Soon, Colette realizes that there is a connection between herself and the murder victims, and that she very well may be the next one to lose her head. Could it all be related to Colette’s vision of a ghostly Marie-Antoinette roaming the sights of Paris?


A light-hearted mystery, mixed with romance, mean girls, and, of course, Paris, make for an exciting stand alone book. Fans of Marie Antoinette, Serial Killer will enjoy Famous Last Words, also by Kate Alendar.
