About this ebook
Can you imagine the most cantankerous book editor alive? Part Voldemort, part Cruella de Vil (if she were a dude), and worse in appearance and odor than a gluttonous farm pig? A man who makes no secret of his love of cheese or his disdain of unworthy authors? That man is Herman Mildew.
The anthology opens with an invitation to a party, care of this insufferable monster, where more than 80 of the most talented, bestselling and recognizable names in YA and children’s fiction learn that they are suspects in his murder. All must provide alibis in brief first-person entries. The problem is that all of them are liars, all of them are fabulists, and all have something to hide...

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This book is a fun romp with many well known YA and children's authors like Lemony Snicket, Jon Scieszka, Libba Bray and many others. It was fun to see how all the different authors approached the same topic, an alibi for the time of the murder. Having said that however, I could only read this book in short installments since it is 70+ short essays on the same thing. Fun read.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Loved. This. Book! I was excited to win an advance uncorrected edition of Who Done It through the Goodreads Giveaways program. Who Done It is an anthology of some of the hottest names in young adult and children's fiction. The book opens with an invitation to a party at an abandoned pickle factory which is being hosted by the notorious editor, Herman Mildew. When the guests arrive they learn that the party host has been murdered. Everyone is considered a suspect and must provide an alibi. This book was so much fun! Each short story was 4 pages or less but I was impressed by the creative shown in such short pieces. I also thought it was great that the book proceeds will benefit the non profit literacy program, 826NYC. I recommend this to fans of the mystery and humor genres.
