  • (1888PressRelease) September 19, 2021 - Suspicious fires erupt all over town. With no pattern or motive—can they all really be coincidences?
    Or are they linked? And why? Is there an arsonist hiding in Asbury?
    Book Five in the Asbury High Series

    Local author, Kelly Brady Channick, releases fifth young adult, cozy mystery novel, Asbury High and the Arson Avenger, that promises to leave enthrall readers and leave them guessing until the end.

    Carly, Maddie, Pilot and Cornelious begin their junior year, ready to take on the town as upperclassmen. With their most recent case solved, the gang joins the town in hopes of starting anew, with the focus on normalcy. As new relationships bloom and jealousy mounts, the heat begins to rise.

    During the first week of school, the local music hangout explodes, leaving only ashes behind. Within weeks, a second location burns down, leaving the gang little doubt that an arsonist is loose in Asbury. As usual, the gang finds itself thrust into the investigation, wondering where to begin—especially since the whole town seems adamant on denying foul play.

    Unfortunately, proving the fires are the result of an arsonist seems to be just as difficult as solving the actual case. As more fires burn across Asbury, the teens find themselves pulled into a world of revenge and ages-old grudges.

    Adding to their fiery investigation are new relationships and typical high school drama. After seeing Maddie with another guy, Cornelious realizes too late that his feelings for Maddie are beyond simple friendship—but will that tear the gang apart when Asbury needs them the most? With the scheming Pitbulls seemingly lurking behind every door, political and departmental denial of arson, busy teen schedules, and new relationships pulling the gang apart, the foursome find it hard to get together.

    With all these disruptions, can the quartet resolve their issues and find the arsonist before Asbury burns down?

    "Asbury High is a quick paced, Scooby-Doo-esque story that features a strong storyline and even stronger bonds of friendship. [It] is a mystery that will appeal to anyone that enjoys a light and fun sleuth story featuring a group of likable young amateur detectives.” (Indies Today, ★★★★★)
