📖 One of Us Is Lying

I'd like to start off with the fact that this book, One of Us is Lying, has spent five years on the New York Times Best Seller list; has two sequels; has a follow-up novel; and has its own TV show. Karen McManus truly is one of the greatest storywriters when it comes to young adult novels and scary plots. If that isn't enough to convince you to rush to your local library and check this book out, then I will give a quick summary of what this book talks about. Simon Kelleher runs a ubiquitous gossip app called About That in order to spread rumors amongst his peers. One afternoon, Simon and four other students are called into detention. The other four include: Addy, Bronwyn, Cooper, and Nate. When the teacher leaves the classroom, Simon takes a drink of water and collapses. After no EpiPen is found anywhere, paramedics arrive and take Simon away — to which they pronounce him dead. In order to solve this mystery of Simon's death, the police dig up any evidence relating to him… which includes the About That app. Unreleased files are pulled up, which state that Addy, Bronwyn, Cooper, and Nate all have a secret to hide — which automatically makes them the prime suspects. Who killed Simon, and why? I recommend this book because again, just read the first paragraph. It is so thrilling to read and the ending is NOT what you will expect. (I guarantee that you will not expect who actually killed Simon. I remember my jaw dropping when I read it the first time!)

首先需要说明的是,这部作品《谎言背后》在《纽约时报》畅销书榜单上停留了五年之久,衍生出两部续作、一部后续小说,并被改编为电视剧。卡伦·麦克马纳斯无疑是青少年小说领域最杰出的故事创作者之一,尤其擅长编织惊悚情节。 若这些还不足以让你冲向图书馆借阅此书,我便简要概述其内容: 西蒙·凯勒赫运营着名为"关于那个"的八卦应用,专门在同龄人中散播谣言。某日午后,西蒙与另外四名学生被叫去留校察看,他们分别是:艾迪、布朗温、库珀和内特。当老师离开教室时,西蒙喝了口水后突然倒地。由于找不到任何肾上腺素笔,急救人员赶到现场将西蒙送走——随后宣布他死亡。 为解开西蒙之死的谜团,警方翻查所有相关证据……包括"关于那个"应用。未公开的文件显示艾迪、布朗温、库珀和内特都藏着不可告人的秘密——这使他们自动成为头号嫌疑人。究竟谁杀害了西蒙?动机何在? 我推荐这本书,因为——请看开头段落。阅读过程惊心动魄,结局绝对出乎意料。(我敢保证你绝想不到真正的凶手是谁。初读时我惊得下巴都掉了!)
