”Six hours and five minutes from then we were heading to detention. An hour later, he died.
Seventeen years, gone just like that.�
Six people
A detention room
A cup of water
1 teacher
5 students
4 students
1 dead body
This is the recipe this book was made of and since I enjoyed solving the murder mystery I decided that I won’t go into detail all too much.
This is the kind of book in which you get four POVs and have as much information as the characters that talk about the happenings. You have to guess with them, you have to experience what they see and you have to take all the pieces of their puzzle and try to solve it. ;-)
So who’s the culprit? Whodunnit?
Cooper Clay:
Athlete, Mr. Clean, honourable and honest soul, rising star, likable guy
BUT one hell of a secret that might eventually break his neck
Nate Macauley:
Outsider, Drug dealer, black sheep, intelligent loner, on probation, sexy bad boy
The obvious culprit, right? ;-P
Adelaide Prentiss:
Yes person, follower, submissive, one of the “cool kids�
BUT there’s a fire within her and it’s about to break out
Bronwyn Rojas:
Geek, nice girl, respectable, compassionate and driven
Smart enough to plan the perfect murder?
Every one of them has a secret,
all of them would have had a reason to silence Simon.
Yet, nothing ever is what it seems to be.
All I’m saying is:
Enjoy the ride and have fun guessing! ;-P

I really dunno how long “One of Us is Lying� was already on my list but it feels like it’s been on my TBR forever. *lol*
To be honest, I don’t even have a clue what it is about. I only know there’s supposed to be a murder and some sort of “Breakfast Club�? XD
It sounds promising enough though, so wish me luck! ;-P

I can already tell that this is going to be fun! Four different POVs, a dead student and plenty of reasons to get rid of him. Mhmm... whodunnit? XD"

"I like the way this is written! They'd all have a motive but so far none of them had thoughts that would actually admit their guilt. Oh well, one of them had quite interesting thoughts and I'll definitely watch that person closely. ;-)"

I really like Nate. *lol* And there were already two POVs that had compromising and incriminating thoughts. Mhmm..."

"Now it's getting truly interesting. All those clues and the things that happened. I'm starting to get a clear picture and I'm beginning to scratch suspects from my list. XD Keep the evidence coming, I'll just continue to rule out other possibilities. *lol*"

That sounds promising! Thank you, talia! I'm glad you enjoyed it! XD

Thank you, Arini! =) I still haven't read "Two can Keep a Secret" so that's definitely going on my list too. XD

That's awesome to hear! 😊 I'm sure I'll enjoy reading it!

Thank you, Katherine! =) I'm really looking forward to read it.

I'm glad you enjoyed it too! 😊 It was a lot of fun to guess! XD


I already suspected it but I waited until I had proof! XD And haha! Yes, I felt like Sherlock too. 😂

I really hope you'll enjoy it as much as I did! =)

I really hope you'll enjoy it as much as I did! =)"
now i am just looking forward for it!!!!! ;)

I suppose you could call it like that! It was a lot of fun to read and guess! 😊


Thank you! It's been on my list for ages too and I'm so glad I finally managed to read it! It was a really fast and nice read. =)


Yay! I'm glad you enjoyed it as well! 😊 It was on my TBR for a long time too. XD Thank you!


Last year I read "Two Can Keep A Secret" by the same author and it ticked off all your tropes. Only there were just 2 POVs. Mhmm it's really not easy to find something similar. If I think of another book I'll write you. I need coffee to think and function properly. 😂

Maybe "Stalking Jack The Ripper"!? It plays in another time but it would fit the bill as well. 😊

Maybe "Stalk..."
Thank you!
