Fame is a Serial Killer


How many famous people do we know whose lives have been taken by bullets?!
By exposing people to crowds, fame attracts an anonymous amalgam of strangers. Some will be fans but… others will be stalkers. In practical terms, it means the best and worst can happen. For Blair Baker, a small town girl turned into an instant celebrity, it was the worst…

Drop Dead Famous is a fast paced thriller that tackles the dark side of fame. I truly enjoyed it 👏

[Jindi (readingwithcaffeine) · Rating 4 out of 5]

I want to say this was a fun little read but it actually dives into such serious topics too so I feel like that’s not entirely the right word to use here 🫣 It literally opens with a global superstar being found dead just before her much anticipated hometown show so the pace is already set from the very first chapter.

I really liked the characters in this but the true star of the show is Colby. A true frenemy turned bestie, I adored every scene she was in and her dialogue had me laughing out loud! I would LOVE to see her possibly take on the main role in a sequel maybe????

This book will require you to suspend your disbelief throughout, I mean how many teenagers are actually out there solving crimes faster than detectives 🥲 but I found that didn’t really bother me at all. You get all the answers you’re looking for by the last page and you will be satisfied! A great pick if you’re a fan of AGGGTM!

Drop Dead Famous by Jennifer Pearson wastes absolutely no time pulling you in opening with the shocking onstage death of a global pop star and immediately setting the tone for a fast paced, high stakes mystery. From the very first chapter, the story moves with urgency, and it never really lets up. If you’re someone who gets frustrated with predictable YA thrillers, this one is a refreshing change. The twists land, the red herrings actually misdirect, and the reveals feel earned rather than obvious.

Stevie is such a strong lead, she’s tenacious, sharp, and completely unwilling to let things go (in the best way). She has that “dog with a bone” energy that makes her investigation compelling to follow, and her dynamic with Colby adds a layer of humor and warmth that balances the darker themes. Their friendship feels natural and gives the story some breathing room between the tension. And tension there is—this book leans into the messy, toxic side of fame, exploring how image, pressure, and secrets can spiral into something much darker.

There’s a clear A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder style vibe here, from the large cast of suspicious characters to the constant sense that literally no one can be trusted. At some point, you’ll side eye everyone, and that’s half the fun. With so many moving pieces, it becomes nearly impossible to confidently guess the outcome, which makes the final reveals all the more satisfying. Dramatic, twisty, and genuinely entertaining, this is a YA thriller that actually delivers on the mystery.

[Maaike · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was such an enjoyable YA thriller! If you love family drama, this is definitely the book for you because oh boy the reveals keep on revealing, I really enjoyed the popstar theme of it. It allowed for a lot of added drama and tension to the whole book. For once in my life I did see a part of the twist coming, but I was still really surprised by the ending which I always love.

I do think the relationship between Stevie and Blair could've been explored more to make it all hurt even more. But all in all, a really fun YA thriller that I would definitely recommend!

Thank you Netgalley and Simon & Schuster for the arc in exchange of an honest review!

[Priscilla Stalker · Rating 5 out of 5]

When global pop star Blair Baker is found dead mid-concert—literally rising above the stage—the world is shaken. But for her sister Stevie, this isn’t just another headline… it’s personal.

I was hooked from the first couple chapters. This story wastes no time pulling you into the mystery, and it does not let go.

What I loved most was the unexpected duo of Stevie and Colby. Their dynamic added so much depth, and I didn’t see that partnership coming—but it worked so well.

Every character felt like they were hiding something. Even Stevie’s own family had secrets, which kept me constantly second-guessing everyone. The twists just kept coming, and every time I thought I had it figured out… I didn’t.

I also loved how everything connected in the end. The chain of events linking the three murders was so well done and made the final reveal feel even more satisfying.

This book dives into the darker side of fame—obsession, betrayal, and the pressure behind the spotlight—while delivering a super addictive mystery.

If you love twisty thrillers with shocking reveals and secret-filled characters… you NEED to pick this one up.

[India Lowe · Rating 3 out of 5]

this was okay, I liked the premise (although blair was obviously taylor swift, with an NFL bf to match. a bit of sabrina carpenter sprinkled in for good measure too). I think it was definitely inspired by AGGGTM with the investigation, the threatening notes etc but I just didn’t gel with it as well as I did with the AGGGTM trilogy. also pretty early on there’s a casual reference to using chatgpt and I very nearly DNFd there and then lol

[emily · Rating 3 out of 5]

i really really enjoyed the concept of this but the execution was just lacking. the first 5 chapters were amazing and set the story up so well but it all just felt a bit rushed and too convenient (?) it felt very much like every thing was connected, like x did this so y did this which meant z did this- like do coincidences or random occurrences not happen in this universe???

stevie was actually a really great character actually and i didn’t find her annoying- just really dedicated to the cause! colby grew on me once she was cleared as a suspect but i think every other character was unlikeable.

i think the thing that really pushed my rating from 4 stars to 3 was annie’s confession, it was a bit ridiculous. why did she confess so easily with very little convincing? it just felt like she could’ve approached kirk very quickly after killing blair, and didn’t even need to wait for stevie to go over there?
i also think that there was a bit too much going on with blair’s murder, mia’s disappearance AND aaron taylor’s murder all basically being investigated and brought up constantly. i understand they all played a part in the wider plot but it felt a bit unnecessary.

left me with a few questions like who was BB will be mine, why did jimmy choose to kill colby’s mum at that point in time (during an active murder investigation!!!) and who was the other man in the car when they kidnapped stevie? maybe this will all be answered in the next one but felt like a few loose ends may have needed tying up (unless i missed something).

yeah, i’m a bit disappointed really because this was set up so well- i just felt like too much was going on for the length of the book :/

[Gabby · Rating 4 out of 5]

I would’ve read this all in one sitting if it weren’t for the pee breaks 🤣

Drop Dead Famous is filled with mystery. The disappearance of a young girl Mia, the murder of a teenage boy by shooting, and now the murder of a pop star…

This isn’t the safest town to be in!!

I really liked how all three of these mysteries tied together and I liked how it all came together in the end. It really shows how one decision can spiral, and how the negative impact just keeps going and going, leaving hurt and pain. Just a trail of disaster.

I wish we perhaps got some flashbacks of Stevie and Blair and their relationship, aside from just Stevie recounting her relationship with her sister. The emotional connection just really fell flat. I suppose, on one hand, we as the reader and the audience are also experiencing Blair as a celebrity.

I loved Steve’s budding friendship with Colby! I thought a lot of their interactions were really sweet and I think it was good for Stevie to have someone to bounce ideas off of.

This was quite a fast paced book and I liked how the mystery and reveals all came together. I had my guesses — which were varying degrees of correct — and I liked how there were some curveballs!

All in all, an entertaining read! I will read more from this author.

[Corinne’s Chapter Chatter · Rating 4 out of 5]

I am thankful to have received a complimentary eARC from Simon & Schuster Children’s Publishing via NetGalley, which gave me the opportunity to share my voluntary thoughts.

Overall, I enjoyed this YA thriller that is very clearly geared toward its target audience. Some YA books manage to cross over and appeal broadly even to readers who do not typically pick up the genre, but this is not one of them.

While fairly predictable, and often feeling familiar as the story unfolds, it is still an entertaining ride watching two unlikely teens team up to investigate the murder. Stevie, the victim’s sister, would absolutely lose in the Teen Investigator Olympics. Nancy Drew she is not, but she is persistent and determined enough to keep things moving.

The story touches on several deeper issues along the way, but unfortunately none are explored deeply enough to elevate this into a true “must-read” for teens where entertainment and meaningful discussion fully intersect. There is still value here, just not quite to the level it could have reached. Readers immersed in “Taylor Swift”-style fandom culture, however, may especially connect with the atmosphere and dynamics woven throughout the story.

At the end of the day, this is a fun, quick popcorn thriller with a touch of romance mixed in. That romance did raise my eyebrows a bit considering it involves a young police officer and a high school student. While both characters are of age and nothing inappropriate occurs, it still made me raise an eyebrow.

4,5⭐️
I really enjoyed this thriller ! Stevie’s somewhat estranged older sister, who is a famous pop star, is killed at her homecoming concert. Stevie who is still traumatized by a murder and a disappearance in her small town, is determined to investigate and find who killed her sister and why. I was very pleased with this story as it was very unexpected. I suspected every character at least once. It didn’t go where I thought it would but once it was uncovered, it made a lot of sense. It was very “good girl’s guide to murder”esque which I really enjoyed! I really liked the friendship between Stevie and Colby. Overall, it’s a very unexpected YA thriller, I definitely recommend it !

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for an arc of this book, opinions are my own.

Thank you to NetGalley and Simon and Schuster for an arc in exchange for an honest review.

DNF at 23%. If this were any other genre I'd try to read more, but mystery/thriller are my comfort genres and I can breeze through any of them whether they're good or bad, as long as they're not boring. So if I lost interest this quickly, it's best to quit while I'm ahead. I just couldn't connect to the main character. She feels very passive, which isn't terrible in itself, but seeing that she's surrounded by a bunch of adults aside from a teenage girl she shares one scene with, there's a disconnect in the narrative that doesn't work for me. The set up is interesting though. For the right reader who revels in the juicy behind the scenes details about celebrity culture and the secret lives of pop stars, this can make for a fun time.

[Fizah(Books tales by me) · Rating 5 out of 5]

Actual Rating 4.5

Thanks to the Simon Teen for this Early Review Copy

The opening sequence reminded me of the current music scene. A massive pop star rising above the stage, fans losing their minds, the internet melting down, it was dramatic in the best way, murder aside. I was immediately hooked. From there, the story keeps building. It slows a little in the middle, but every chapter still drops something new: a clue, a twist, a threat, or some other reason to doubt a new character.

I really liked Stevie as a main character. She’s grieving, but also determined and kind of relentless when it comes to finding out what really happened to her sister. You can feel how personal this is for her, and that made it easy to stay invested in her journey. I didn’t like Colby at first, but over time, she grew on me. Her interactions with Stevie added a bit of lightness to the otherwise tragic story. The involvement of the family was a welcoming element. The whole pop star/fame angle and how it can be toxic and dark also added context regarding many things.

The mystery itself is well done. I kept changing my mind about who to trust, though I had a pretty solid read early on of who not to trust, and I was right. For a 400+ page book, it stayed genuinely easy and fun to read the whole way through. My only real complaint, it could lose maybe 50 pages, and the ending needed more room to breathe. I find the ending lacking, I wanted to read about the closure of all of the characters, so I was a bit disappointed.

The romance was up to my ally, a genuine and supportive connection without getting overwhelming. The whole setup/story reminded me of Holly Jackson’s book, which I really adore. I’d definitely recommend it if you’re into YA mysteries with lots of secrets and a bit of celebrity drama.

This was such a fun, addictive read. I finished it in 3–4 days, which pretty much says it all.

[L 🎀 · Rating 5 out of 5]

Firstly, I want to say a massive thank you to Simon and Schuster and NetGalley for providing me with an e-arc of this book in exchange for an honest review!

The story starts with the death of pop star Blair, who happens to be the sister of our main character Stevie. Throughout the book Stevie, along with Blair’s superfan Colby, team up to attempt to solve her murder. This book is full of twists and turns, dark family secrets and a very addictive plot!

Wow, what an amazing book! The mystery genuinely kept me hooked. New pieces of evidence and facts kept arising which made me question every single character at some point. This point was what made the book particularly shine, as there was no part of the story where I was confident about the identity of the murderer.
As the mystery progressed further, and more clues arose, I found the book genuinely hard to put down as there was such a large amount of tension building up throughout.
I also really enjoyed reading the book from our main character, Stevie’s, point of view. I thought she made the perfect narrator to the mystery, as she herself was suspicious of everyone at one point, which perfectly reflects the viewpoint of the reader!
Finally, the ending was definitely worth the wait. I won’t say more on that matter because ✨spoilers✨ but it was the perfect release of all the built up tension throughout the book.

Overall, I’d recommend this book to twisty YA mysteries. In particular fans of a good girls guide to murder should definitely read this- it gave me such similar vibes and I loved it!

[Kimberley · Rating 4 out of 5]

Firstly I would like to thank Simon and Schuster for allowing me the opportunity to read this ARC through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Getting into the review - as the description of this book says, it reminds me of A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder mixed with the music industry craziness.

Starting off with a big pop star returning to her small hometown for a home coming performance, only to be discovered murdered in front of thousands of screaming fans and her family. It’s a high-stakes whodunit.

Stevie is the younger sister of global sensation Blair Baker. Stevie is already a girl defined by grief as shes still haunted by the unsolved disappearance of her niece, Mia. When Blair is killed, Stevie refuses to let her sister become just another cold case or a tabloid headline. As Stevie navigates her way through her sister’s world investigating, the truth about Blair’s life quickly peels away to reveal a messy reality including family secrets that were never meant to leave their small town.

The characters in this book are well written especially Stevie’s character as she is lovable, I felt her pain when she was suspicious of everyone.. definitely how I felt! I also loved the character Colby, annoying at first though. I love the subtle romance happening in small parts throughout this book, this is always a good touch to a YA thriller.

I found this book to be a true page-turner and finished it in less than 24 hours! Definitely a great YA thriller read. Pearson knows how to end a chapter on a cliffhanger which made it very hard to put down. I’m also a plot guesser and I love to see if I can guess whodunit.. I couldn’t this time. This is a four star read for me as it didn’t make me feel any extreme emotions.. but still a great read!!

I would recommend reading this if you like YA mysteries, celebrity drama, and twisty plots that keep you guessing.

[Becca ♡ PrettyLittleMemoirs · Rating 4 out of 5]

I love a thriller with lots of twists, and that is exactly what Drop Dead Famous promises from the get-go. Stevie has lived in the shadow of her Pop Star older sister for years. They've grown apart and lost touch when they used to be so close, and although she's so proud of her sister's success, she misses what they had. Blair Baker is the ultimate starlet, glamourous and talented, and the world is always watching her. Despite blips of substances, burnout and over-divulgence of family issues in songs and interviews, she's the talk of their small hometown, Honeyville, and the world. So when she announces a hometown show that becomes the sole focus of Honeyville's residents' attention, Stevie is in two minds as she watches Blair on stage—only when her sister misses her cue, chaos erupts at the arena when it's clear Blair Baker has been shot—murdered—and the killer is nowhere to be found.

The Baker family are devastated, and the world grieves with them. So many people adored Blair—but as the family are learning, many people also disliked Blair. Obviously someone must've had a motive to kill her, right? From stalkers to too-invasive fans and her dodgy manager, Stevie is sure that she can try and solve the mystery, reluctant to believe that Honeyville's Police are truly diving into the other, dark side of fame Blair became steeped in. She's reminded of her cousin's death not too long ago, a time that rocked her and Blair's world, another mystery she tried—and failed—to solve. But this is different. Stevie is older, stronger, and has a new drive—and help from a new friend and an unintended crush—to actually crack this one. Only, as secrets are brought to light and cast a shine a little too close to home, Stevie finds herself pointing fingers at people she never thought were capable of such evils—Blair might've been the Pop Princess to the world, but her death unearths a graveyard of secrets she couldn't bury deep enough, and it's capable of throwing Stevie's life into chaos.

Drop Dead Famous hit every note perfectly for me. Blair's life, to the fans, was full of glitter and gold, but in death, was uncovered as a sharply choreographed lie that just couldn't go the distance. Jennifer writes this mystery with the compulsiveness that begged me as the reader to keep turning pages, wanting to solve the crime alongside Stevie. The plot blindsided me at every turn, and the final reveal was a total gut-punch that left my best theory in the dust. While Blair’s death is the catalyst, the true story lies in the blood-stained legacy of the Baker family—a labyrinth of past and present secrets where every chilling revelation slots into place to reveal just how meticulously calculated the tragedy is as a whole. I loved the found friendship between Stevie and Colby, and also had a soft spot for Stevie and Oliver's relationship. I found myself at times just wanting to reach into the pages and comfort Stevie. Even as her resilience is undeniable, Jennifer also doesn't shy away from the crushing reality of her trauma that unravels publicly. It is this masterfully balanced vulnerability that gives the novel its true power and keeps the reader anchored in every twist. I was thoroughly hooked throughout this unmissable, high-octane, electric story.

W ostatnim czasie naprawdę często sięgam po thrillery, a "Zabójcza sława" jedynie utwierdziła mnie w mojej miłości do tego gatunku! 🔦

Stevie to bohaterka racjonalna i trzymająca emocje na wodzy. Bardzo podziwiałam jej motywację i nastawienie, a także odwagę, by niejednokrotnie pakować się w niebezpieczne sytuacje. Jednak bohaterka, która naprawdę skradła moje serce, to jej przyjaciółka Colby. Uwielbiam motyw grumpy and sunshine, a przyjaźń tych dwóch dziewczyn to jego najlepsza realizacja! Colby jest głośna, zabawna, dość lemkomyślna i nie jie przejmuje się opinią innych. Dziewczyny są jak ogień i woda, a ja uwielbiam czytać o takich przyjaźniach! ❤️‍🩹

Zagadka, którą próbujemy rozwiązać razem z Stevie i Colby, jest naprawdę dobrze skonstruowana. Z każdym rozdziałem dochodzą kolejne poszlaki i tropy w śledztwie. Na światło dzienne wychodzą też naprawdę mroczne sekrety Blair i jej otoczenia, które nieraz wywoływały u mnie gęsią skórkę.

Mniej więcej w połowie książki odgadłam, kto był mordercą... a jednak wcale nie czuję żadnego niedosytu, ponieważ autorka i tak zdołała zaskoczyć mnie wieloma innymi zwrotami akcji. To jeden z tych thrillerów, w którym nikomu nie można ufać – naprawdę nikomu. 👀

Stevie is beyond excited to attend her sister Blair’s concert in theIt home town. Blair is now an international singing sensation and it has been a long time coming to have her home

But for Stevie and her parents, their excitement is turned to horror when Blair is discovered dead during the opening song at the concert.

Now making headlines, everyone is speculating as the hunt begins for Blair’s killer. Stevie believes the police aren’t doing enough, and takes matters into her own hand, trying to find the person who would wish her sister harm

This YA thriller muster packs a serious punch. The music industry, media back drop adds a fantastic layer of mystery and deception.

Stevie is such a great protagonist, trying to find justice for her sister while also protecting her family she is a tough and resourceful. You are quickly backing her and very protective of her

Plenty of suspicious characters adds to the suspense, not sure who to really trust will keep you turning the page until the fab conclusion

I loved The Bodyguard reference too!

thank you so much Simon & Schuster for my gifted ARC

DROP DEAD FAMOUS - JENNIFER PEARSON

⭐⭐⭐⭐/5


First of all let's just take a minute for this beautiful ARC cover. I am absolutely obsessed 🤩 thank you so much @simonschusterau for hooking me up with this read!

I am super late to post this review - I actually finished this a few weeks ago and have been in an assignment black hole!

This book was SO good and I was hooked from the start! It gives amateur crime solvers vibes in the best way. Starting with a bang, there are a few different mysteries weaved through and our protagonist works her way through the ever growing list of suspects. I really didn't know which way it would go and the ending was definitely shocking and satisfying.

I LOVE a YA thriller and Jennifer Pearson has executed this really well. A great balance of suspense, mystery and emotion.

You NEED to add this book to your TBR if you want an easy to read and satisfying crime book🙌🔥 AVAILABLE IN AUS IN JUNE 🤩

[Lauren · Rating 3 out of 5]

From the get-go Drop Dead Famous is an intense read, opening with the murder of Blair Baker at the opening of her big homecoming concert right before the eyes of her home town.

This book deals with some intense and dark adult topics (besides the obvious murder; grooming; implied SA; missing persons; stalkers etc) which I found quite jarring in contrast with the somewhat juvenile writing - both in regards to the style of writing as well as the way the protagonist Stevie is presented. Stevie is 18 but reads more like 15, and her plucky sidekick Colby isn't any better (though she is fun if a bit much at times).

While I enjoyed the mystery unfolding and was constantly looking forward to picking this one up on the train, I did feel there were just too many suspects and plot threads interweaving to the point where the final reveal required an info dump to make it all make any sense. And yes I did predict who (with a few false starts), though definitely not why hence the necessary info-dump.

It was fun in parts, but the themes present conflict with the writing style and make it hard to determine who this story is actually aimed at?

3.5 stars rounded down.
Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC!

[Karen Barber · Rating 4 out of 5]

Blair Baker’s homecoming concert was always billed as a must-go-to gig, but nobody could predict it ending in the way it does. Only minutes into the gig things are stopped as Blair has been shot. Her family are shocked. Her fans are distraught. And it’s very obvious that someone knows more than they’re letting on.
The book follows Blair’s sister Stevie as she investigates the murder of her sister.
In the process we learn more about the family, the secrets that have been kept and which have a bearing on this incident and the developing friendship Stevie has with Blair’s super-fan.
I can’t not comment on the absurdity of some of the plot, but it was so entertaining it was easy to overlook.
Thanks to NetGalley for giving me early access to the book in exchange for my honest review.

I love a good mystery book especially when someone teams up with someone else to investigate a murder.
I was hooked the entire time trying to unravel who murdered Blair. This book had everyone a suspect on my list. When I finally found out who did it, I was mind blown. This book was hard to put down.

Thank you to netgalley and @simonteen for the ARC.

When her popstar sister is murdered at her hometown concert, Stevie and the president of Blair Baker's fanclub play teen detectives. In a small town, there are always secrets to uncover, even those that probably should stay buried. Might be a four star book because it has extra cheese and like one too many plots to keep up with.
