Review of 'One of Us Is Lying' on 'Goodreads'

1 star

The title One of Us Is Lying implies that one of the four students accused of murder and denying it is actually a murderer. Finding out Simon killed himself makes none of the students a liar and therefore, the title is bullshit. Even if they are lying by omission (they all have secrets) then All of Them Are Lying. Still a bullshit title.

This book sucked. Terrible writing.
