One Of Us Is Lying by Karen M. McManus

Hi there! Yes, it's been quite a while since I've written a review. While I've certainly been reading, a lot of personal stuff has gotten in the way of sitting down to write reviews.  My father-in-law is currently in the hospital, so prayers/kind thoughts/healing vibes are all appreciated.

I have to say I LOVED this book.  5 high school students are in detention together.  A small fender bender happens in the school parking lot.  4 of the students and the teacher run over to the window to see what happened.  The 5th starts having an allergic reaction to something and dies.  It is determined someone put peanut oil into his cup.  All the Epi-pens are missing from the nurses' office. So, who did it?

Told in alternating viewpoints (which I'm typically not a fan of, but in this case works), the reader must try to figure out who hated Simon the most.  Simon ran a gossip website, and all of our suspects have appeared on it.  Even more damaging, each has a post in Simon's draft folder and they start posting, after his death.

I don't want to spoil too much here, but I can honestly say I was WAY wrong on my guess.

Our water business has funded two recent orders, so find this on display next week with the other new books!
