I liked the pacing and character development, and I also liked that the ending was left a little open. There were plenty of twists and turns, and it wasn't too predictable. There was also a good sense of humor.
I love this author. This one took me a lot longer to get through than her other ones. I think the plot and twists were well done. I do think there’s a lot more “filler” than needs to be.
Still one of my fave authors to escape real life for awhile but this one didn’t pull me in like her other books.

Откровено недобре написана книга. Съжалявам, но диалозите и героите бяха страшно повърхностни и плоски, стилът на авторката въобще не ми хареса. Едва-едва я избутах до края, а на около страница 200 абсолютно буквално задремах. Може би беше грешка, че не прочетох първо "Един от нас лъже", защото вече нямам никакво желание да го направя, а и фактът, че това е шестата? книга на авторката и я осъждам така, въобще не ме обнадеждава за останалите.

This was certainly…. a YA novel. I was super disappointed - this is the first Karen McManus book I didn’t enjoy. The characters fell flat, I wasn’t incentivised to care for their stories or root for them, and the conclusion was stale and uninteresting. Luckily, she redeemed herself with the final OOUIL book, but this was a dud. I barely remember much outside of the key events.
After four years in Chicago, Brynn’s family is returning home to Massachusetts, and she is less than thrilled. It means returning to the prep school she grew up in—the prep school where her best friend decimated their friendship a few months before she left, where there is a line of division between the haves and have-nots, and where her beloved eighth grade English teacher was murdered. And that particular case is still unsolved.
But then again, maybe there is a bright side to moving back. Maybe Brynn can parlay her connection to that case into a way back into journalism and an addition to the achievements and activities column for her college applications. Maybe Brynn can figure out what really happened the day three of her classmates “found” their teacher dead in the woods.
Told in the alternating points-of-view of Brynn and Tripp, her former best friend and one of the kids who discovered Mr. Larkin in the woods, Nothing More to Tell is full of twists, turns, and red herrings and keeps you turning the page to find out more. There are mysteries wrapped up in mysteries and a sense of history being rewritten for the main characters. Karen M. McManus delivers suspense, the ups and downs of high school friendships, and a bit of romance as well.
I recommend picking up Nothing More to Tell if you are in the mood for a fast-paced YA murder mystery.
