The first part of the book is bad, Knox is annoying and I can't stand him.
Part two gets better but I can't go beyond this rating because the majority of the book was part 1.

A great follow up to One of Us is Lying! I was just as invested this time around. McManus has the multi-POV style down to a science. Great pacing, great POV switching, great trickling of info and wonderful payoff come reveal time!

This is such an interesting sequel. It was nice to see previous characters and learn more about precious side characters. I love the twists and turns and when everything gets explained. An excellent sequel.
