One Of Us Is Back is the third instalment of Karen M McManus’ One Of Us Is Lying series, and follows the entire Murder Club - Nate, Bronwyn, Addy, Cooper, Maeve, Phoebe, and Knox - as they uncover a new mystery surrounding multiple people that have returned to Bayview. It’s also the book that proves I wasn’t insane for making assumptions about Addy’s character whilst watching the TV show and for seeing the sibling-like relationship between her and Nate. How am I meant to choose a favourite character? I love them all. My least favourite character is easy, it’s Jake Riordan. I recommend this book because we are SO back with One Of Us Is Back. The gang is back together and I couldn’t be happier. The found family vibes are my favourite. It’s also genuinely inspirational, especially Nate and Addy’s stories. ‘It’s one of those perfect moments that I try to grab hold of even while it’s happening, because I know I’m going to want to remember it.’
