You'll Be the Death of Me

You'll Be the Death of Me by Karen M. McManus

Text from the back cover:

Ivy, Mateo, and Cal used to be close.  Now all they have in common is Carlton High and the beginning of a very bad day.  Ivy lost a student council election.  Mateo is burned out from working two jobs since his family's business failed.  And Cal just got stood up again.  So when the three run into each other, they decide to avoid their problems by ditching.  Just the three of them, like old times.  Except they've barely left the parking lot before they run out of things to say, until they spot another Carlton High student skipping school and follow him to the scene of his own murder.  In one chance move, their day turns from dull to deadly.   Could it be that their chance reconnection wasn't by chance after all?
