One of Us Is Next by Karen M. McManus

One of Us Is Next (One Of Us Is Lying, #2)

by Karen M. McManus

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • There's a new mystery to solve at Bayview High, and there's a whole new set of rules. The highly anticipated sequel to One of Us Is Lying!

Come on, Bayview, you know you've missed this.

A ton of copycat gossip apps have popped up since Simon died, but in the year since the Bayview four were cleared of his shocking death, no one's been able to fill the gossip void quite like he could. The problem is no one has the facts. 

Until now. 

This time it's not an app, though—it's a game. 

Truth or Dare.

Phoebe's the first target. If you choose not to play, it's a truth. And hers is dark. 

Then comes Maeve and she should know better—always choose the dare. 

But by the time Knox is about to be tagged, things have gotten dangerous. The dares have become deadly, and if Maeve learned anything from Bronwyn last year, it's that they can't count on the police for help. Or protection.

Simon's gone, but someone's determined to keep his legacy at Bayview High alive. And the rules have changed.

Fans of the hit thriller that started it all can watch the secrets of the Bayview Four be revealed in the One of Us is Lying TV series now streaming on NBC's Peacock!

This book left me saying OMG!! Dare I say I loved this more than OOUIL? I think because I already knew some of the characters (Maeve, Nate) and Bayview High, I already felt connected to them from page 1. I loved all the other POVs too (Phoebe, Knox). This sequel delivers on everything I wanted. With suspense and mystery that kept me guessing who was the killer until the very end! Cant wait for the next book by McManus!
