I am a big fan of Karen M. McManus books which all started with One of Us is Lying. I have enjoyed all her books and they are so easy to read yet have a lot of mystery and intrigue packed into them. The covers and sprayed book edges also make a beautiful addition to my collection. 

Brynn is returning her hometown and her old school for senior year. She has also landed a cool internship with a crime tv show where she pitched the idea of looking into a cold case which is right on her doorstep. Her old teacher was murdered in the woods and three of her classmates found him. Were they involved in the murder or just in the wrong place at the wrong time? 

Brynn reunites with her ex-best friend Tripp. He was one of the classmates involved but is he guilty of anything? 

This whodunnit kept me guessing until the end and I didn’t see it coming! 

Brynn had to quit her job at Motive to prove loyalty to her friends, although it didn’t stop her investigation. She uncovered that the teacher Mr Larkin had changed his name and was looking to reconnect with his younger brother who studied at the school. This turned out to be Mason. Somehow Charlotte had overheard a conversation which led her to believe that Mr Larkin’s brother was actually Shane, her boyfriend. Mr Larkin posed a threat to his brother by telling their abusive father where he could find Mason. Charlotte would do anything to protect her boyfriend so she did the ultimate crazy girlfriend move and killed their teacher.
