One of Us Is Lying
by Karen M. McManus
One of Us is Lying follows four high school students, Bronwyn, Addy, Nate, and Cooper on their quest to prove themselves innocent after being the only witnesses to another classmate, Simon's accident, which leads to his death. It starts off with almost a Breakfast Club type feel, as each of the kids is in detention after school and each one is mostly in their own section of the high school social order. Bronwyn is the "nerd" of the group, Nate is the misfit, Addy is the pretty popular one and Cooper is the superstar athlete. Simon runs the school gossip social media outlet and is mostly regarded as a type of social pariah, not really trusted but nobody really wants to be on his bad side either. While in detention Simon somehow has a massive allergic reaction to peanuts and circumstances align so that he cannot be saved. The book is a major who-dun-it with lots of twists and opportunities for each of the main characters to be guilty, as each one is hiding something. In the end, the group bonds together and are able to reveal who the true murderer was and exonerate each of themselves.
