A review by lindsaynalley
You Killed Wesley Payne by Sean Beaudoin

4.0

What an interesting book! I've never read a noir-style detective novel written specifically for young adults. I enjoyed the novelty of it, but I do wonder if very many of my students will recognize/understand Beaudoin's noir style. I enjoyed the witty sarcasm and all of the extra information at the back of the book about slang and the cliques. I would recommend this to YA guys and girls who enjoy a good mystery but also understand and appreciate a healthy dose of irony. Hopefully there will be another Dalton Rev book to look forward to - I'll certainly read it!
