In a high school murder mystery, someone dies during detention and everyone starts to blame
the others.
One Of Us Is Lying by Karen McManus is a book about high schoolers who are in the sight of a murder that
happened during their detention. The book has a great suspense build when the reader is trying
to figure out who the killer is. Although the student killed, died from a peanut allergy, the police
believe foul play was involved. The other four are all hiding something they don’t what others to
know, this is slowly revealed over the period of the book. The middle of the book is a slow
suspense-building part, I feel as most people would have stopped reading during this time
because it is a little too slow, but is like climbing over a roller coaster, a slow start but a quick
ride down. The ending of the book really caught me off guard as I wasn’t expecting it at all, an
amazing plot twist that made me gasp. Overall, this book is worth reading, if you’re really
interested in this genre you could knock it out within in a week.
