One of Us Is Lying
by Karen M. McManus
5 completely different students find themselves in detention. Only 4 leave the room alive that afternoon. A murder investigation starts after it is discovered that their deceased classmate was planning to spill secrets about each of the 4 living students the day after his death happens. The 4 leftover students swear they had nothing to do with the mysterious circumstances of their classmate's death. They band together to try to figure out who is the murderer and why they wanted the reputations of the remaining 4 to be ruined.
I couldn't put this book down. I needed to know who did it! I thought it might be easy to figure out who committed the murder, but I found myself changing my mind about who the murderer was. The book has other great twists that took me by surprise. It was a great mystery. It wasn't clear who committed the murder until the very end. It also got really suspenseful at times!
A main conflict of the story is a website that publishes gossip about the students at school. It usually is the reason other students begin to bully and harass each other. One boy is an abusive boyfriend. There is a handful of adult language in the story. There is talk of sex and hookups. Some homophobic slurs are used.
