OLDER FICTION
McManus, Karen M.

One of Us Is Lying

(4) YA Murder meets The Breakfast Club. Five students walk out of detention, but only four of them survive, each of which had motive to kill the fifth--Simon, creator of a gossip app. Glimpses into the students' backstories and current relationships help illuminate their characters and reveal varying motivations. The genuinely compelling mystery plot compensates for what could just be a mash-up of stock characters.
