One of Us Is Dead

Product Information

Jennyowns Glow, the most exclusive salon in town. Jenny knows all her clients’ secrets and darkest desires. But will she ever tell? I wanted more intrigue as far as the murdery bits were concerned. For most of the narrative I actually forgot that the whole point was that someone was ultimately going to end up dead. There was so little focus on that. Jacob, Meredith (August 5, 2021).

I've spent thousands of hours working on these women. I've primped, waxed, cut, painted, spray-painted, powdered and massaged them. I know almost every inch of their bodies. But I also know their demons - their deepest, darkest secrets. The things we try to bury beneath the surface so as not to show the world the doppelganger lurking within us. So, am I surprised something like this happened? Not in the slightest . . . '

Karen: a very successful real state agent. She is married to a successful plastic surgeon and has a small child.

At Bayview High, five students–Simon, Addy, Cooper, Bronwyn, and Nate–are given detention. Simon, known for starting an online gossip group with his friend Janae to snitch on his classmates, suffers a sudden and fatal allergic reaction. Each of the four students had a motive to kill Simon, and after it is determined his death was not an accident, an investigation is started. One of Us is Dead was the type of book I walked around reading. It was so addictive I simply didn’t want to put it down. Like a grown up, cattier version of Pretty Little Liars and Big Little Lies, everyone had their fair share of secrets and lies. I loved the way the story alternated between the events of the past and the present day, with a police interview. Who ended up dead was a secret for almost the entire book and it built such fantastic suspense. Discuss the use of multiple perspectives or narrators in the book.

This article contains major spoilers for One of Us Is Lying season 1, episode 8, “One of Us Is Dead”, including the One of Us Is Lying ending.What’s the point of doing the right thing when assholes like that never bother, and get whatever they want anyway?” Many thanks to NetGalley and Random House Children's/Delacorte Press for sharing the digital copy of one of the most anticipated books of 2023 in exchange for my honest thoughts. The most recent drama involves former Queen Bee, Shannon, whose politician husband, Bryce Madison, recently left her for a 20-something waitress he met while on a business trip to Texas. The title: One of Us Is Dead is a completely accurate title. The story is told from the perspective of five different first-person narrators, and one of them is dead by the end of the book. Some book titles lie (why yes, I am still bothered by The Perks of Being a Wallflower), but this book is not one of them.

Then one of the tight knit group goes missing. With nothing to go on and no rules to reference, everyone is afraid of what this might mean. Who is behind the disappearance? And what else are they planning? These crooks show up with nary a dufflebag to carry their wares and have to take a comforter to lug it all down the street. Simich, Ricardo (September 25, 2021).

The drama and cattiness of these women was so fun to listen to, and I couldn’t wait to find out who was dead and why. This book comes out on April 26, 2022, and I certainly recommend adding it to your TBR shelf before then. One Of Us Is Dead consists of a bunch of rich, catty, manipulative women who I didn’t care much about. I’m at the age where I try to stay away from the drama, let alone read about it.

Indeed, some of them were, so much so, that again, I don't like that YA authors resort to making the police force completely oblivious to the crimes - please, it would not hurt to bring some forth of realism to the stories. Just writing them off, as a work force that is not taking the crimes or deaths seriously, all the more annoyed. ☹️ And then, to have the ending, not even bring decent closure to all the characters - it leaves it all so wishy-washy, and even makes me believe that there may be a spin-off or sequel in the works, because it still left some story lines hanging! It was as if, it was written for the sole intent of making the bad guys completely unlikable and not even redeemable for their cause of actions.😩😩 Best frenemies Olivia, Karen, Jenny, Shannon, and Crystal are all keeping secrets to maintain their image, social status and reputation. Olivia, another gem, is poised to take over as queen of the day, since Shannon is about to lose he place. Olivia is detestable and that is being kind. Manipulative and cunning, she's the one who would cut the throat of anyone who tried to get ahead of her. Ending: There’s something completely unpredictable going on under the surface of the story. But once it’s revealed it felt wildly out of place. Worse, when the murder is finally explained, the explanation does not hold up to scrutiny. It simply does not make sense physically or logistically.
