Hey guys, I am trying to remember the name of this book my teacher read to us when I was in grade 7 (8 years ago). From what I remember, the book was about a group of people who were invited to a party, and someone was murdered, I believe it was the host, and everyone was trying to figure out who the killer was. The only characters I remember are the host which I believe was an older man, and a little girl named Turtle. I am sorry for the lack of details, but hope this will jog a few memories. Thanks in advance guys!
