McManus - now available in a bold new cover look complete with a blood red background and matching sprayed edges. Five students walk into detention. Only four come out alive. Yale hopeful Bronwyn has never publicly broken a rule. Sports star Cooper only knows what he's doing in the baseball diamond. Bad boy Nate is one misstep away from a life of crime. Prom queen Addy is holding together the cracks in her perfect life. And outsider Simon , creator of the notorious gossip app at Bayview High, won't ever talk about any of them again. He dies 24 hours before he could post their deepest secrets online. Investigators conclude it's no accident. All of them are suspects. Everyone has secrets, right? What really matters is how far you'll go to protect them. 'Tightly plotted and brilliantly written, with sharp, believable characters, this whodunit is utterly irresistible' - HEAT 'Twisty plotting, breakneck pacing and intriguing characterisation add up to an exciting single-sitting thrillerish treat' -THE GUARDIAN 'A fantastic murder mystery, packed with cryptic clues and countless plot twists. I could not put this book down' - THE SUN 'Pretty Little Liars meets The Breakfast Club' - ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY But the story doesn't end here, it continues with One of Us Is Next. . . Review: Unexpected - This book was chosen as our book club's BOTM for July. Its been a long time since I’ve read a murder mystery/thriller book and this one was really good. So, this is how it goes; five students walk into a detention room and only four come out. Student no 1. Nate Macauley; he is a criminal drug dealer. At the moment he is on probation for drug dealing. Student no 2. Bronwyn Rojas; she is a Yale aspirant, a mathlete. So far she has never broken a single rule, that we know of Student no 3. Adelaide (Addy) Prentiss; the Miss popular, Prom Queen. Almost every girl in the school wants to be her. Student no 4. Cooper Clay; the jock with a promising future in baseball. He is already being scouted for top college teams. And Student no 5. Simon Kelleher; he is the owner and creator of a gossip app called About That. He is a person you do not want to mess with, because he collects secrets, knows all the secrets about every single student in Bayview High school and then he posts them on his app for everyone to see, but guess what, he doesn't walk out of the room. Simon's death puts the spotlight on Addy, Bronwyn, Copper and Nate- The Bayview Four. The police investigate each and every one of them. They all doubt each other. Throughout the course of the book they go from- "one of us is lying" to "we were all framed". Simon’s app had disrupted many lives in the Bayview High school. Out of the Four only Nate had been featured on the app before. However, the other three were next in line. Simon’s death had kind of delayed those secrets from coming out, at the end of the day they did come out and a lot of things rapidly changed after that. I did not expect this book to be this good. The shocks and twists were astounding. I just couldn't put this book down, it was so addictive and I have no nails to bite anymore. The pace of the book was fast yet it was so smooth, it just glided over. It was so easy to read and get lost in it. The mystery of the murder was definitely intriguing. It was complex, the intricate details spread out perfectly through the book; they definitely packed a good punch. I don’t think I can choose between the four. All of their characters are so beautifully written. Addy had the best character development in the book and I love her more than ever. Nate and Bronwyn growing and bonding together was something unexpected and sweet. Cooper, he’s so strong and brave; he has my heart. The friendship and acceptance that formed between the four was something worth reading about. Oh and Simon, how could I forget. Even though he was only there for a few pages; the ruckus he created was mind blowing. The ending, my god, wow. That was something. Review: A gripping young adult mystery - Five students find themselves in detention at Bayview High. One student falls dead and the other students become suspects. The story starts unravelling with the reader getting to know more about each character. Every one of the students has a secret to hide which makes them all suspects. Each character is well written and is unique. The back stories of the characters are well explained. The final twist though lacks a thrill, is explained logically. The book is written with enough twists to keep the reader from getting bored. I liked the narration which kept throwing suspicion on all the characters. The chemistry between Nate and Bronwyn was so good. The character development of the princess girl was awesome. She transformed from a self-conscious clingy girlfriend to a badass and confident teenager who needs nobody but herself. The arc of her relationship with her sister is also well written and lovely to read. I would definitely be picking up the next book in this series and highly recommend this book to fans of closed room mysteries and whodunnits with an interesting bunch of teenagers. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a fast-paced young adult thriller. ## Features - Puffin, A great option for a Book Lover - Great one for reading - Comes in Good condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,408 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #5 in Romantic Mysteries & Thrillers for Young Adults #12 in Mystery & Detective Stories for Young Adults #13 in Mystery & Thriller Adventure Fiction for Young Adults | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 47,220 Reviews | ## Images ![One of Us Is Lying - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71oz7kV9NuL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Unexpected *by S***R on 30 September 2021* This book was chosen as our book club's BOTM for July.
