McManus - now available in a bold new cover look complete with a blood red background and matching sprayed edges. Five students walk into detention. Only four come out alive. Yale hopeful Bronwyn has never publicly broken a rule. Sports star Cooper only knows what he's doing in the baseball diamond. Bad boy Nate is one misstep away from a life of crime. Prom queen Addy is holding together the cracks in her perfect life. And outsider Simon , creator of the notorious gossip app at Bayview High, won't ever talk about any of them again. He dies 24 hours before he could post their deepest secrets online. Investigators conclude it's no accident. All of them are suspects. Everyone has secrets, right? What really matters is how far you'll go to protect them. 'Tightly plotted and brilliantly written, with sharp, believable characters, this whodunit is utterly irresistible' - HEAT 'Twisty plotting, breakneck pacing and intriguing characterisation add up to an exciting single-sitting thrillerish treat' -THE GUARDIAN 'A fantastic murder mystery, packed with cryptic clues and countless plot twists. I could not put this book down' - THE SUN 'Pretty Little Liars meets The Breakfast Club' - ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY But the story doesn't end here, it continues with One of Us Is Next. . . Review: Phenomenal execution - Set in high school with a heavily clichéd outline of a plot and much of the answer can be guessed early on. But... I loved the characters and cared about the outcome, and Karen has something to say about life on the Internet too. Also the character arc where she comes out of a toxic relationship is a lovely, refreshing read. I loved it, I think it lives up to the hype. Review: Murder on the Breakfast Club Express - Contemporary YA is not usual my cup of tea - give me fantasy or sci-fi or paranormal any day. But the premise of this intrigued me enough to give it a go, and I wasn't disappointed. Five students are given detention, having possibly been set up by having banned mobile phones places in their bags. One maintains a popular website spreading accurate but vicious gossip about his fellow students. The other four all have something to hide, and are about to be featured on his blog. The first student is poisoned and dies, leading police to assume one of the remaining four must have killed him - after all, they had access and the had a motive. The overall vibe is thus somewhere between an 80s highschool movie and an Agatha Christie movie - think Murder on the Breakfast Club Express. Though the mystery is interesting - and the conclusion interesting, if a little predictable - it's the characters that really drive the story. All four of them are self-referentially introduced as high school stereotypes: a geek, a jock, a bad boy and a popular girl. But as the book progresses, the nuances beneath those labels become clear. It's hard not to like and root for all four of them, and their interactions with and growing friendship with each other is great. The writing is really good and on the whole, the voices are well-differentiated. The book runs through quite a lot of issues such as bullying, coming out, drugs etc, but doesn't feel preachy or like the story is being manipulated to promote a message. Overall, this was a really enjoyable read, nice and light and fun, but with a little stream of darkness running through to give it a bit more edge and interest. ## Features - Puffin, A great option for a Book Lover - Great one for reading - Comes in Good condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 1,352 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 7 in Mystery & Detective Stories for Young Adults 9 in Suspense for Young Adults 10 in Romantic Mysteries & Thrillers for Young Adults | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 47,684 Reviews | ## Images ![One Of Us Is Lying - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71oz7kV9NuL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Phenomenal execution *by L***E on 23 January 2026* Set in high school with a heavily clichéd outline of a plot and much of the answer can be guessed early on.
