Book 109: One of Us is Lying by Karen McManus


Another young adult title passed on to me by Sarah - this one is a take on the Breakfast Club - five kids of very different personalities and high school groups end up in detention together. The difference is that one of them ends up dead and the other four look to have been the most likely culprits. The story is told from the revolving viewpoints of the four kids, which is interesting - as you get to know them, you don't really want any of them to be the killer. I did predict a couple of elements of the book, including how the whole thing would be resolved, but that doesn't make the book lesser.  Enjoyable, and a good reminder about the importance of looking beyond the surface of both things and people.
