Half teen angst, half murder mystery. I didn't expect much of it when I started reading it, but I must say I really enjoyed trying to figure out who the murderer was, along with the characters! 

Lies Like Poison follows 4 teenagers on their path to unravel a murder mystery that upturns and changes all of their lives forever. It was both exciting and heart-warming at the right times, and kept me interested until the last page.
