Marie Antoinette, Serial Killer by Katie Alender

Colette Iselin is excited to go to Paris on a class trip. She’ll get to soak up the beauty and culture, and maybe even learn something about her family’s French roots.
But a series of gruesome murders are taking place across the city, putting everyone on edge. And as she tours museums and palaces, Colette keeps seeing a strange vision: a pale woman in a ball gown and powdered wig, who looks suspiciously like Marie Antoinette.

Okay the title and cover threw me off (kinda um...weird) but after reading the description I'm going to definitely want to check this one out! I didn't realize until history this year how much else was going on before and after she was executed. It was a terribly bloody time. Sierra
