Uno di noi sta mentendo. One of Us is Lying: La serie completa

by Karen M. McManus

Cinque studenti trascorrono un'interminabile ora di punizione nella stessa aula. Bronwyn, la studentessa modello. Addy, la reginetta del liceo. Nate, il bello e dannato. Cooper, il campione sportivo. E Simon, l'emarginato, creatore dell'app che rivela dettagli piccanti sulla vita privata degli studenti. Da quell'aula solo in quattro usciranno vivi. All'improvviso e senza apparente motivo, Simon crolla a terra davanti ai compagni e muore. Secondo la polizia non si è trattato di un malore, ma di un omicidio. Quando poi si scopre che Bronwyn, Addy, Cooper e Nate sono i protagonisti di un ultimo post di Simon mai pubblicato, i quattro ragazzi da semplici testimoni diventano i principali indagati dell'omicidio. Sono davvero degli assassini o solo le pedine perfette per un pericoloso killer ancora a piede libero? Ciascuno di loro ha un movente. Ciascuno di loro ha un segreto. E qualcosa in sospeso con Simon. Ma uno di loro sta decisamente mentendo.

4.3⭐
(book 1 - 5)
(book 2 - 4)
(book 3 - 4)

this was such an amazing series! i don't think much can go wrong with a fast-paced high school murder mystery, or just anything written by karen m mcmanus!! i actually read this a while ago but forgot to write a review haha so i'm just going to write reviews for all of them here

the first book (one of us is lying) was AMAZING and was a really fun read to distract yourself/get something off your mind. i literally breezed through it but i was also really invested in the mystery (idk why i say this for all the mysteries i read lol). i loved the 4 povs and i'm so surprised none of them were boring and they all had exciting stories. i also loved all the little romances!

the second and third books of the series were also so good, but just weren't the most memorable. it also put me off how the second one was about a whole new group of people, not focusing on 'the Bayview four' like the previous group. but still, they were great reads.

OK, THESE ARE THE BEST BOOKS EVER!

one of us is lying
this was the first thriller I’ve ever read. I don’t know how I found out about it but i did and I 10000% loved it. Nate is a sweetheart, Bronwyn is adorable, Addy is sweet and sour and Cooper is just amazing, I recommend this to anyone who loves a good murder mystery.

One of us is next/One of us is back
I definitely don’t like it as much as the first but the whole bayveiw “backstory” and what happened
After, it also gives us some more characters who are amazing and gives us more about bronwyn’s sister and her friends, or classmates more of.

This series is a good read, one I found that was able to get me back into reading better as it kept you on your toes. Throughout the books the author leaves you constantly guessing what might occur and is not easily predictable. I would say that I did find the third book less intriguing, easier to predict, and I was starting to lose interest. It is a good mystery and an appropriate book for teen readers as well.
Dates read is a wide gap but this is because I did not read the books one after another.

I LOVED this book. A friend recommended the series thinking I’d like it, I did. I’m not much of a reader but this series had me actually want to read! I struggled reading because all the books I found didn’t suit me, they were all too slow and boring, but this is fast-paced and there’s drama at every corner. So, if you’re looking for a book that won’t have you wait over 100 pages to get to something barely exciting, has drama and romance and mystery, choose this.

Best high school crime novel, and I enjoyed it very much. Have loved the author's books ever since reading "One of us is lying".

La serie completa
Mystery-Thriller Young Adult

Questa edizione draghetto è riuscitissima.
Oltre alla grafica 🔝e ai contenuti bonus, è maneggevole e non pesa un quintale!
Lo zaino del mare e la mia schiena ringraziano!

Avevo letto i primi due capitoli della serie qualche anno fa, ora posso chiudere il cerchio con “Uno di noi è tornato” e “La sera del dioloma”.
Sono anche curiosa di fare il quiz! 😬

Credo siano rimasti davvero in pochi a non aver letto anche solo il primo volume di questa serie dal successo planetario. Io avevo l’edizione col faccione di Simon (la vittima) in copertina.

Il fatto che venga indicato come young adult non deve ingannare gli amanti del genere.
Non snobbatelo, vi assicuro che la tensione è alta e la soluzione del mistero è davvero machiavellica.
