MINIKRITIKA | Karen M. McManus: One of us is lying

The ​Breakfast Club meets Pretty Little Liars, One of Us Is Lying is the story of what happens when five strangers walk into detention and only four walk out alive. Everyone is a suspect, and everyone has something to hide. 
Pay close attention and you might solve this. On Monday afternoon, five students at Bayview High walk into detention. Bronwyn, the brain, is Yale-bound and never breaks a rule. Addy, the beauty, is the picture-perfect homecoming princess. Nate, the criminal, is already on probation for dealing. Cooper, the athlete, is the all-star baseball pitcher. And Simon, the outcast, is the creator of Bayview High’s notorious gossip app. Only, Simon never makes it out of that classroom. Before the end of detention Simon's dead. And according to investigators, his death wasn’t an accident. On Monday, he died. But on Tuesday, he’d planned to post juicy reveals about all four of his high-profile classmates, which makes all four of them suspects in his murder. Or are they the perfect patsies for a killer who’s still on the loose? Everyone has secrets, right? What really matters is how far you would go to protect them.



Nagyon szimpatikus a borító, a fülszöveg, és az is, hogy a Pretty Little Liars-höz hasonlítják. Viszont nekem nem igazán jött be.

Vagyis az alapötlet tetszett, és a kezdés is. Viszonylag hamar bedobták a nagy bonyodalmat, hogy utána a könyv hátralévő részében azon rugózzunk, hogy vajon mi is történt, viszont nagyon hamar el is vesztettem az érdeklődésemet. Túl sok szereplőt zsúfolt bele, minden szereplő kapott 2-3 családtagot, így annyi ember nevét és tulajdonságait kellett megjegyezni, hogy már zsongott a fejem, azt sem tudtam, ki kivel van, így nem fejeztem be.

Sajnálom, pedig nagyon jó történetnek indult, és kíváncsi lennék, ki lett a gyilkos a végére.

„I hope you doused yourself in Lysol after getting off his motorcycle,” Kate adds. „He's a total man-whore.” I glare at her. „You realize it's sexist to say man-whore, right? If you have to use the term you should at least be gener-neutral about it.” „Whatever,” Kate says dismissively. „Point is, he's a walking STD.”

I wait until Jake opens my door to climp out of the car, fitting myself under his arm like always. My older sister, Ashton, likes to joke that I'm one of those barnacles that would die without its host.

I collapse into his arms, and for a second, everything's okay.
