Molly Cameron: This book is a great introduction to ya murder mystery. Would 100% Recommend it, the only fault is towards the end it gets slightly confusing but great nonetheless!

Jem: There is nothing like a locked room mystery, especially one starring The Breakfast Club. Coming from the perspective of the kids, there are a lot of questions yet unanswered - like why was their teacher a technophobe - but the way the story unravelled was a ton of fun and kept me on the edge of my seat.

C Singleton: This sounds lame, but this book grabs you from the beginning! Some of the 'secrets' were easy to figure out, but overall, a very witty read!

KRS: One of the BEST Who Done It novels I have EVER read that WAS NOT penned by the great Agatha Christie!

The twists and turns were perfect!

I fell in love (and hate!) with the characters and their arcs, and found myself rooting for them (or against them!) And my alliances changed as more information was found and more proof given.

Simply marvelous! I could not put this down! So happy to have found a new favorite author, Karen M. McManus, and another new favorite series to get lost it!

Amazon Customer: It was a page-turner but still I think that Karen could have made the ending a bit better. But still you should go for it.

Jannik: Das Buch One of Us is Lying habe ich mir gekauft, da ich es für mein Studium lesen musste.
Die Lieferzeit und die Qualität des Buches waren sehr gut.
Die Geschichte im Buch spielt im klassischen Amerikanischen Highschool Setting und dreht sich um die vier Figuren Nate, Bronwyn, Addy und Cooper, die alle des Mordes an einem Mitschüler verdächtigt werden. Diese Vierergruppe rauft sich zusammen um ihre Unschuld zu beweisen. Dabei werden die klassischen Klischees bedient: Nate der Badboy mit Motorrad und schwarzer Lederjacke, Bronwyn die Streberin, Cooper der Sportler und Addy ist die Stereotyp Schönheit, die sich sehr um ihr Aussehen und ihren Freund sorgt. Das ist auch der Kritikpunkt an dem Buch. Es ist alles sehr Stereotypisch und bei manchen Situationen fragt man sich doch des Öfteren, ob sowas auch wirklich passieren würde, gerade bei der Polizeiarbeit.
Trotzdem ist ein gutes Buch, welches gerade gegen Ende hin spannend wird und man als Leser selbst nicht weiß wer denn nun den Mord begangen hat. Gerade als Jugendlektüre finde ich das Buch sehr geeignet, da es sich mit den klassischen Problemen von Jugendlichen befasst (Erste große Liebe, erste Trennung, Coming...

Noriko: I think I went off on the wrong foot with this book; I wrongly and mistakenly assumed that this book wasn’t for me – boring, full of high school dramas and teenage angst which, to tell the truth, were not my thing at the moment.

It indeed took a while for this book to grow on me. As I mentioned earlier, except for the first chapter where Simon, a notorious gossip mastermind of Bayview High, mysteriously died from a severe peanut allergy, I spent a huge chunk of the first half frustrated and feeling detached from the story. I knew the book was in the middle of build up, but what I thought endless, too detailed descriptions about the four suspects – the four students – and their backgrounds and emotional conflicts were a bit too much for me. I was expecting more of the mystery – whodunnit – elements (as this book is supposedly YA mystery), definitely NOT high school dramas involving drama kings and drama queens where they whine and go on and on about what they have done wrong. To be honest, I wasn’t remotely interested in such kind of stuff. It may sound harsh, but I was pretty close to giving up on this book.

But I didn’t want to.

So I tried to...
