NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the critically acclaimed author of One of Us Is Lying comes a new page-turning mystery. Be sure to keep your friends close . . . and your secrets closer. Four years ago, Brynn left Saint Ambrose School following the shocking murder of her favorite teacher—a story that made headlines after the teacher’s body was found by three Saint Ambrose students in the woods behind their school. The case was never solved. Now that Brynn is moving home and starting her dream internship at a true-crime show, she’s determined to find out what really happened. The kids who found Mr. Larkin are her way in, and her ex–best friend, Tripp Talbot, was one of them. Without his account of events, the other two kids might have gone down for Mr. Larkin’s murder—but instead, thanks to Tripp, they're now at the top of the Saint Ambrose social pyramid. Tripp’s friends have never forgotten what Tripp did for them that day, and neither has he. Just like he hasn’t forgotten that everything he told the police was a lie. Digging into the past is bound to shake up the present, and when Brynn begins to investigate what happened in the woods that day, she uncovers secrets that might change everything—about Saint Ambrose, about Mr. Larkin, and about her ex-best friend, Tripp Talbot. Four years ago someone got away with murder. More terrifying is that they might be closer than anyone thinks.

Her writing is like a magical potion that zaps you out of any reading slump! It's like soaring through a wonderland of richly crafted characters and vivid scenes. You'll never want to stop flipping those pages! I did my research, peeked at the reviews before diving in, and guess what? Against popular belief, I absolutely adored the ending! It was like sprinkling stardust on the whole story, making it a solid 5-star read for me. And guess what? There's a tiny flicker of hope that we might get a delightful spin-off or maybe even another book in the future! How exciting is that?
While I didn't mind with her other books, it really annoyed me that she only writes the same stories and characters, just with different names. Hee books are still quick reads, but this one I just could not care less about..
I skipped through most of this book to a very disappointing end, so I'm glad I saved myself the effort. I will not continue reading this author's books, but I do think they are fun for 10-15 year old readers who are new to the murder mystery genre.
I'm not sure if I'm just biased for some reason, but the author's novels seem to be getting better over time, and this one is probably my favorite Karen M. McManus mystery so far.
5 stars, in the spirit of giving something more than a 4
This was my first of Karen M. McManus' books and I really enjoyed it! I have a soft spot for YA mystery/thrillers and this book was no different. The mystery throughout had me hooked and I couldn't put it down. Definitely going to read McManus' backlist after this!
Thank you to Random House Children's, Delacorte Press, and NetGalley for providing me with an eBook copy to review.
