One of Us is Lying by Karen McManus - Paperback

I love the product's packaging.The book is very good. Has a lot of suspense and great plot twists and engrossing characters even if a bit cliche.

amazing book. the first 50-80 pages are a bit confusing, trying to differentiate between the characters and all. but the book becomes very interesting throughout the middle, especially the character’s backgrounds and interests. when secrets unravel and the characters’ developments start to show, it really is interesting. i couldn’t stop reading. i defiantly recommend this book for people who are still trying to get into books.

I love it read it if you like murder mystery

IF U LOVE MURDER MYSTERY. READ THIS. I AM. OBSESSED.

Arrived in perfect condition! Can’t wait to read this

My 12 year started reading this and only got to the end of the first page before coming to me and asking 'should I be reading this?'The first sentence reads: "A sex tape. A pregnancy scare. Two cheating scandals. And that's just this week's update."I scan read the first few chapter. Based on an American High School 16 year olds and their antics- sex / drug references .Everyone knows their own child - but wasn't suitable for my 12 year old.

This is an excellent YA novel which as an adult, I enjoyed just as much as any adult crime novel. A modern, deathly take on one of my favourite films The Breakfast Club - five students serve detention, each of them very different and during detention one of them dies. Right in front of everyone else, including the supervisory teacher. The boy who is killed wrote a gossip blog about the goings on in the school which makes him pretty much enemy number one.In alternating chapters each of the four remaining students go through the aftermath of the murder. Suspicion, investigations - both formal and informal - petty, teenage dramas and love. I was pretty much gripped to this book. While the characters were stereotypes (the jock, the criminal, the scholar, the princess...) and much of the narrative is inspired cultural touchstones such as The Breakfast Club, McManus weaves twisty narratives from these pupils who each have their own traumas and issues to deal with over and above the crime for which they are all under investigation for.

This book is one of the best I have read in a long time, and the best read of my summer. I took this book on holiday with me and I couldn't put it down, i was gripped! What drew me to this book (along with my love for a murder mystery) was the comments describing it was "the breakfast club meets pretty little liars" and the book did not disappoint. The swapping of characters meant that all stories were explored, and no character was left with an "I need to know more about this character". The pacing and systematic reveals throughout the story left me intrigued and theorising (and questioning my theory) right until the reveal. Although some parts of the book could possibly be described as stereotypical or cliche I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and would definitely recommend.

Warning, spoilers ahead.I’m afraid that the title of this book is actually a bunch of lies considering not a single one of them is a murderer and they're not lying about it. I didn't care about any of the characters at the plot was a severely predictable. If you don't get it before the first quarter is done that's because the author has created ’traps’ that you have unfortunately fallen into. I wanted to like it I really did, and this would be a completely different review if one of them had murdered someone. Cop out.Either way, I don’t recommend.

I bloody loved this!Intrigued/hooked from page 1 and I was completely surprised by how the story unfolded.I can’t wait to read Two Can Keep A Secret.
