One of Us Is Lying
by Karen M. McManus
4.5 stars! Review to come.

So on to the review. Beware minor spoilers! I was hooked right from the first chapter with this book and went back and forth throughout trying to guess who had done it. The characters were nicely fleshed out and I liked all four of them in their own ways with hints of possible suspicion always lingering in the back of my mind (though I will admit I didn't think) however I took a half star off for the reveal of what happened at the end. It all felt a bit....easy, gimmicky.
Overall though I was super intrigued throughout and loved the writing style! Definitely a book to pick up for a fast paced read that you'll want to finish in a day or two and a great final book for me to choose to end 2017 off on!

Nick had done it because he was the obvious suspect and it's never that personSpoiler
I actually would have preferred for one of the four to have done it, since after I got to the third act it was obvious to me that none of them had because of the way McManus set them up for us readers to love them too much. In my opinion, I think it would have been far more interesting for one of the teens have killed Simon and given us readers more to think about then getting off easy with some new favourite characters.Overall though I was super intrigued throughout and loved the writing style!
