One Of Us Is Lying, a fictional mystery by Karen M. McManus covers what seems to be the lives of 5 normal high school students in detention class until one of them dies. When Simon suddenly passes it makes Bronwyn, Addy, Nate, and Cooper the four main suspects. Throughout the book, the readers see views from all four students and their suspicions about what happened. Was it Bronwyn? Was it Addy? Was it Nate? Was it Cooper? Did they all do it together? Did none of them do it? Every plot twist and chapter leads you closer to the truth.
While reading One Of Us Is Lying readers are constantly learning new information and opinions from each character. My favorite part of the book is how McManus shows the point of view of each character. This book takes readers through an entire murder case that takes twists and turns throughout. While reading One Of Us Is Lying I was constantly on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next. If you like a good mystery, plot twists and turns, and a shocking ending this is a great book to read.
