One of Us Is Lying

Description

The international bestselling YA thriller by acclaimed author, Karen M. McManus, is now available in a brand new limited edition.

One of Us Is Lying is the first book in the riveting series that has captivated readers worldwide. The story unveils a gripping mystery set in the corridors of Bayview High, where five students walk into detention, but only four make it out alive.

Yale hopeful Bronwyn is known for her intelligence and her impeccable record, never having broken a rule—at least not publicly. Cooper, the school's star baseball player, is laser-focused on his future in sports, while Nate, the resident bad boy, is perpetually one mistake away from a life of crime. Addy, the seemingly perfect prom queen, is struggling to keep her life from falling apart. And then there’s Simon, the creator of Bayview High's notorious gossip app, who's made a career out of spilling his classmates' secrets.

The story takes an unexpected turn when Simon dies in detention just 24 hours before he could reveal their deepest secrets online. What initially appears to be a tragic accident soon turns into a high-stakes whodunit, as investigators quickly conclude that Simon's death was no accident. Suddenly, everyone in the room becomes a suspect.

As the plot thickens, secrets unfurl and the tension spikes, One of Us Is Lying artfully explores how far people will go to protect their secrets. Each character is intricately developed, and readers are kept on the edge of their seats, guessing who could be guilty.

McManus expertly weaves a tale of intrigue, betrayal, and unexpected alliances, creating a suspenseful narrative that is both thrilling and thought-provoking. This modern classic will leave you questioning just how well you know those around you, and how far you would go to guard the truths that could destroy you.

Dive into One of Us Is Lying and discover why this masterful tale of mystery and deception is beloved by readers everywhere.
