Murder on the Upper East Side

Scandal never graduates. Holly Jackson meets Gossip Girl in this glossy thriller, set in the glamorous world of New York's ultra-elite. 

2016. Hannah Miller has begun her senior year at The Prescott Academy of New York alongside the rich and famous of the Upper East Side. Or at least, their children. 

Among the trust funds and penthouse parties, there’s one rule for survival: staying out of the way of Queen Bees Madison DuPont and Elle Harrington. 

For Hannah, being a scholarship student makes her feel invisible. But nobody can escape the watchful eye of notorious gossip account The Upper Edge.

2026. The Academy's alumni have gathered for a glittering charity gala. Only Madison DuPont could host an event this grand. 

But what starts as a champagne-fueled party soon descends into chaos when Madison is found dead moments after her speech. It doesn't take long for fingers to point at Hannah – everyone saw her talking to Madison only moments before she died. She shouldn't even be at the gala. She's not really one of them.  But the truth is that everyone had a reason to want Madison dead. 

To clear her name, Hannah must unearth the secrets that this crowd would kill to keep buried.
