This was the ending of a trilogy no one was seeking. The readers are back with both gangs from the first two books that are all now mingled together as the Murder Crew. A billboard says, a new came is started and there is just one rule… It was nice to revisit the characters that I loved from the first book, and the ones I liked from the second book. There are just a few new characters in this book, but the love just isn’t there. Most of this book is character studies. What is happening to who, how are they living with themselves, etc. There is a kidnapping, and 2 deaths, but unlike the prequels they were not exciting. It was boring. It took over half the book to get to the first death, and then it rushed to the end. I liked revisiting the characters, but it wasn’t something I needed to do. This book is only for the fans. It will not stop me from reading other McManus books, because I usually love them, but please, let this franchise die.

I received this as an advanced copy from Netgalley. As a fan of One of us is lying I was excited to see how the series ended. This book was probably my least favorite. It took me a long time to get into the book. It felt like half-way through the mystery started to pick up and I was completely invested. I was happy to see how she resolved all the characters' stories. One thing to note, this was by far the cleanest of the series. Fairly middle school appropriate just underage drinking.

McManus does it again!!!! This was a great addition to the series and I really, really enjoyed the background shared from both Simon and Jake in the book as it related to 6 years prior to everything changing in their lives. The additional members of the Bayview Crew help provide depth to the main characters. Also, I love Nate so thank you for his storyline and ending in this book!!!! I devoured this book quickly and I'm sure you will too.

The last few Karen M. McManus books have been kind of meh for me, but I just love the One of Us is Lying series (including the tv show). This installment had a bit of a slow start, but kept me interested the whole time. McManus does such a great job of building up to the whodunnit. I felt like this book brought the others full circle.

Another story about revenge from Karen M McManus…but this one by far has been my favorite!! I feel that this book really brings the whole series full circle.
Jake is back. After a juror admitted to telling the details of the trial to his girlfriend while it happened Jake now gets a retrial. Now he is back in Bayview. Even with an ankle montor on he still semi-teorrirzes the murder club.

Then people start disappearing. What is happening in Bayview? Is Jake behind it?

Now while I had an idea that certain events were going to happen in the book. I felt like Karen M McManus really does the slow rollouts of the information very well, Overtime I could tell the “who dunnit” was getting smaller and smaller. She is very good at making sure you don’t realize the specific people who are doing it and why till the end. This I really appreciate as there are not many books that surprise me.
This series is the only one that I have read from her and I can’t wait to continue to read her backlog.

This third book in the series was worth the wait. Rarely do three books in a trilogy all have the same level of amazing, but this trilogy does. McManus is a master.

I would give this 4.5 stars. Karen M. McManus brings the Bayview Crew back together again and the twists don’t stop. This third installment is amazing and shouldn’t be missed. Just when I thought I had it figured out, boy was I wrong. I was impressed by the realistic relationship building between the characters and the daily lives. The book is a home run! If you were a fan of One Of Us Is Lying, you’re going to love this!

This book was amazing! It was a perfect marriage between the first and second. It brought all the characters together from every book on every side. The ending of the story was mind blowing. I did not see it coming! This book has twists and turns and you’ll never quite know where you’re going. It has a loose ends on the first and second book beautifully. I could not put it down.

I loved this story. This series has captivated me from the start. It’s like a scooby gang hunting down clues. Certain parts had me on the edge of my seat. Reconciliations made me so happy. I would highly recommend this and others by Karen McManus.

I’ve loved every book from Karen McManus and One of Us is Back is no exception. Another worthy edition to the complicated happenings of this Bayview Crew.

The multiple narrators is an expected challenge, and readers will benefit from reviewing the first two books if they haven’t been recently read.

The story works together seamlessly. Karen McManus delivers unexpected twists without ridiculous reveals or unreliable narrators. Great mystery for teens and adults alike.

I thought this was a great conclusion to the One of Us is Lying series. It was initially a bit confusing as I hadn't read the prior two in a few years but once I reviewed synopses of both online, I was able to more thoroughly enjoy the book. I thought the ending wrapped up all loose ends, which was nice to see.

This was a great book to wrap up a great series. I loved the shifting perspectives and the development of each of these characters. Once again the Bayview crew looks into mysterious things happening around their town. This book was compelling and I love how it perfectly mixed characters from both the 2nd and 1st books. A well done trilogy! I’m sad it’s over!

Karen McManus is the queen of YA mystery and this did not disappoint. I absolutely loved being back in Bayview with these characters and it felt like a fun and fulfilling end to the series. It took me a minute to remember the characters and plot lines and I definitely would have preferred to read the trilogy all at once instead of so spaced out (maybe I'll reread this way again someday!) but I still managed perfectly fine. I also really loved how McManus managed to bring Simon back into the picture through flashbacks and give depth to previous storylines. I would definitely recommend it if you've read the other books, like Karen McManus, or enjoy mystery.

Always a good read by McManus. I'm no longer in my Young Adult Era, so it wasn't my favorite book ever. It was still very good. She always leave me so surprised by the plot twists.

A solid third book in the series. The flashbacks gave more context to the whole series. Twisty ending as always. I felt like a few characters needed to be included more or left out, but overall a quick, enjoyable mystery.

As always, Karen McManus does not disappoint! I have already pre-ordered several copies for my classroom for next school year and I have former students contacting me to know if they can be the first to borrow them.

This is the third and final installment in the One of Us series. I enjoyed it. Not as much as the first two, but I still did. It was a good conclusion to the series, and I think my students who like the Good Girls' Guide to Murder series would enjoy this series as well.

I really loved this conclusion. I loved getting Addy and Nate’s POV again and I loved the whole Murder Club meshing together from both books. I loved how the main four really grew together as friends and opened up. It was a good mix of things. I did think I had it all figured out until the very end caught me a little by surprise so that’s always nice! I just really enjoyed this series!

Such a great ending to this trilogy. I would encourage you to familiarize yourself with the other two previous books before reading this. If you don't quite remember it and be difficult to follow. It had been probably about 6 months since I read the last book and I had to refer back a few times. But overall a wonderful mystery that finally comes to a well tied together ending.

I think I enjoyed this book the most out of the whole series so far. It was extremely fast paced. I loved how unpredictable it read, it really kept me guessing until the very end!
