Seven friends throw a 1920s–themed party, where it's all pretend—until one of them is murdered. One of Us Is Lying meets Knives Out in this glamorous locked-room mystery.

"A can't miss for mystery fans." —Kathleen Glasgow, New York Times bestselling author of Girl in Pieces and The Agathas

Someone brought a knife to the party.

To celebrate the end of high school, Izzy Morales joins her ride-or-die Kassidy and five friends on a 1920s–themed getaway at the glamorous Ashwood Manor. There, Izzy and her friends party in vintage dresses and expensive diamonds—until Kassidy’s boyfriend turns up dead.

Murdered, investigators declare when they arrive at the scene, and now every party guest is a suspect. There’s the girlfriend, in love. The other girl, in despair. The old friend, forlorn. The new friend, distressed. The brooding enigma. And then, there’s Izzy—the girl who brought the knife.

To find the killer, everyone must undergo a grueling interrogation, all while locked in an estate where, suddenly, the greatest luxury is innocence.

Critic reviews

An Amazon Best Book of the Month

"In classic Clue fashion, debut author Muñoz delivers a nail-biting mystery. . . . Muñoz’s attention to class dynamics and interpersonal loyalty anchors the happenings in cerebral themes. By skillfully molding tension via well-placed clues and gripping dialogue, the creator believably cultivates shocking reveals and bittersweet resolutions." —Publishers Weekly

"Alongside the central mystery, the author successfully explores a host of serious issues, including substance abuse, risky sexual behavior, and the armor of socioeconomic privilege.... An un-put-down-able, bittersweet whodunit." —Kirkus Reviews

"A delicious, twisty, and clever locked-room mystery with loads of glamour and danger that will keep readers rapt until the very end. A can't miss for mystery fans." —Kathleen Glasgow, New York Times bestselling author of Girl in Pieces and The Agathas

I usually enjoy a good murder mystery with a little romantic drama. As a school librarian I read a lot of young adult books, and usually enjoy them. Although I liked the plot, there was just too much teenage angst, romantic drama and over the top rich and privileged characters that just didn’t work for me.

The book overall was a great read, however I don’t care for stories that jump back and forth in the timeline. I’m glad I listened to it instead of reading the hard copy my son kept handing me to read.

The story was very good and the characters were well thought out. I didn’t see the twist coming at the end, wow!

The plot twist was very unexpected bc I felt like the author was lying about the underlying story the whole time lol. Really gaslit us to believe something that didn’t happen. Good storyline tho! Didn’t care for the cussing and gay characters.

Mixed emotions on this one
