One of Us Is Lying

Five students walk into detention. Only four walk out. One ends up dead.

That’s not just a hook—it’s the ticking time bomb at the center of One of Us Is Lying by Karen M. McManus. And trust me, once you start? You won’t stop.

Here’s something wild: 1 in 4 readers say a good plot twist is what keeps them hooked on a book. This one? It’s got layers of them. Secrets. Lies. And the kind of drama you swear only happens in movies—until it lands on the front page of a high school’s scandal.

The setup is simple: five teens enter detention. A brain. A beauty. A criminal. An athlete. And Simon—the guy who runs the school's infamous gossip app. But then Simon dies in the room, and the other four become suspects.

It’s The Breakfast Club meets Pretty Little Liars—but smarter, darker, and way more addictive.

What makes this book different? You’re not just solving the murder—you’re unraveling the masks each character wears. One lie at a time. And by the end? You might question who you’d become under pressure too.
