One of Us is Lying

by Karen McManus

An unlikely matchup of high school kids all get detention on the same day for the same infraction--having cell phones in their backpacks. Simon, who runs a tell-all app that exposes the darkest secrets of his classmates, ends up dead. It has to be someone who was in the room, so who has the most to hide?

This was a pretty fun read, with a decent amount of twists and turns. I had a hard time differentiating the voices of the characters at times, though. And even though I'm not so great at figuring out mysteries, I knew who the killer was long before the reveal. Still, I think the intended audience will love all the high school drama.
