One of Us Is Back

By Karen M. McManus
One of Us Is Back by Karen M. McManus digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

The global phenomenon returns with the third book in the One of Us Is Lying series, from #1 New York Times bestselling author Karen M. McManus. When someone from the Bayview Four’s past resurfaces, history begins to repeat itself—and the consequences are deadly.

The third time’s a charm.

It’s been almost two years since Simon died in detention, and the aftermath has been hard to shake. First the Bayview Four had to prove they weren’t killers. Then a new generation outwitted a vengeful copycat. Now the entire Bayview Crew is back home for the summer, and everyone is trying to move on.
 
Only, this is Bayview, and life is never that simple.
 
At first the mysterious billboard seems like a bad joke: Time for a new game, Bayview. But when a member of the Bayview Crew disappears, it’s clear this “game” is serious—and whoever’s in charge isn’t sharing the rules. Or maybe there aren’t any.
 
Bronwyn. Cooper. Addy. Nate. Maeve. Phoebe. Knox. Luis. Kris. Everyone’s a target. And now that someone unexpected has returned to Bayview, things could start getting deadly.
 
The thing is, Simon was right about secrets—they all come out eventually. And Bayview has a lot it’s still hiding.

Smiling Face with Heart-Eyes“Perhaps it’s because I finished this book at 1am, but the twists in this book had me GAGGED. Silenced. I was floored. Or maybe it’s because I didn’t expect batshit crazy twists after reading the first two books with much tamer turns. I was pleasantly surprised with this book. It’s hard to write with an end ensemble cast with 8/9 main characters to focus on. I think the book was fairly balanced, though, and I have no complaints about the character exploration in this book. I’m biased as an Addy and Nate girlie pop tho. Addy Prentiss, how I love you. A thrilling conclusion to a very solid trilogy. Honestly my favorite book of the series.”
Beaming Face with Smiling Eyes“In my opinion the author did so good with ending, like everything was tied at the end. The ending just fell perfect & a happy ending. Like for some books it just ends and you feel off. But for this book, the ending was just perfect in my opinion.”
Smiling Face with Heart-Eyes“I love the bayview series it's just so edge of your seat.”
