I haven't read a whole bunch of mystery books, but it's always fun when I do.

To me, the Bayview Four were all fleshed out very well, along with their family and friends.

The author dropped hints all of the time, but some of them were so hidden that I didn't realize they were hints until the end! The reveal of who killed Simon was amazing and the ending was just perfect!

However, I didn't like it enough to feel the urge to read more of it in the sequel. I don't know why. The book was very interesting and I liked it, but I didn't love it.

I’ve owned this book for a hot minute and, yet, it’s the second Karen M. McManus book I’ve read. I read Two Can Keep a Secret awhile ago and found myself really enjoying it! It kept me guessing until the end and I do love when a thriller can surprise me. So, after getting on so well with her sophomore novel, I decided to finally give her debut a try.

Though I did manage to ferret out the twist in One of Us Is Lying, this was still a fast-paced and thrilling ride! The story was interesting and I enjoyed the Breakfast-Club-but-with-murder vibes to the whole thing. The characters were interesting to read about and had a lot of depth, which I appreciate in a mystery/thriller. And, even though I guessed whodunit, the reveal was still masterfully done!

This book was an intense, quick read that I’m glad I finally got around to picking up. I can’t wait to not only read the sequel, One of Us Is Next, but McManus’ newest book, The Cousins. I think Karen M. McManus is quickly becoming a favorite, ngl.

this was okay. I didn't really think while listening to this, so I somehow did not expect the ending. I did get a little attached to the characters though, so it was a good time.
