I was so excited to find out there was a 3rd book in this series because I loved the characters. Glad to see them again. I really enjoyed this one. I don't wann spoil anything so I'll just say I really enjoyed it.

Karen McManus books are a favorite for my book club, and I was very excited to be able to read the third book in this series. It is comforting to see returning characters but also exciting to meet new ones. The plot twits were quite engaging and some shocking secrets were revealed- more shocking for me than the other two books! I look forward to purchasing this book for my school library.

I loved this book! I've been patiently waiting for this to release since One Of Us Is Next came out, and it was everything that I wanted and more! This was a great conclusion to the series, and it really cleared everything up with each of the members of the "Murder Crew," which was great to see. I'm excited to be able to recommend this to both patrons and other staff. I can't wait to see what's next from Karen M. McManus!

As soon as I started reading this book, I realized I needed to do a LOT of research and rereading of the first two books before I could continue. This trilogy has SO many characters and their lives are all pretty interwoven, so it took quite a bit of reading before I could wrap my head around the plot. Once I got the characters figured out, the plot took a long time to build. I felt like it needed more suspense, more obstacles for the characters...and the flipping between points of view and time periods was really tough to keep up with.

On the flip side, once the book got going, I really enjoyed it and I got caught up in the action. I read through the second half very quickly and was surprised by the outcome. All in all, if you enjoyed the first two books in the series, you'll like this one!

This was a great addition to the series. I have enjoyed all of these books, and this was no exception. There were multiple points of view represented which kept the story interesting and engaging. There was a good amount of backstory to refresh my memory. The twists and turns were compelling as well.
Thanks to Net Galley for the book to review.

I loved this book so much! I really didn’t know what it was about when I started reading it, but I quickly was obsessed! The characters are well developed, and I couldn’t help but love them all!

The Murder Club has reconvened! This series closer provides fans with suspense, action, a little romance, and a very satisfying ending. The interactions between the characters are terrific. Great fun.

I got lost. I enjoyed the book but like the second one I had to keep looking up characters. I forgot most of book 2 so I wasn’t sure how Knox and Phoebe were important. I didn’t see the twist coming at the end and I think a fourth book could happen given the ending.

This is a fun conclusion to the “One of Us” series, with the twists and surprises you would expect. It took a good while to take off, in my opinion — I considered DNFing it a few times. Honestly, there are so many characters by this point that I had to accept that I wasn’t going to know who everyone is and just roll with it. But around the 40-50% mark, it picks up and makes it all worthwhile. I really appreciated the realistic (probably??) villains, and the stories of the characters we’ve been following get wrapped up in a satisfying and sweet way. I’ve read everything Karen McManus had written and I’ll continue to! She’s a great author and her books are fun, soapy, and compelling.

I have been waiting for a third book to this series in forever!

We are bringing all the Murder Crew together from the first and second book because the game has started again.

This was a good book! I was really drawn into the story. This is a quick read that is pretty fast paced.

We get multiple POVs from different people in the Murder Crew. I feel like this book wrapped up the missing ties from both books. It was a great ending to the series (I’m only guessing this is the last book of the series).

It’s always a good thing when I get can’t guess the person who starts the game in the book and I didn’t guess with this book. It had some good twist included into it.

This is definitely a great series for a YA Thriller and for anyone who is looking to dip their toes into the world of thriller books.

Thank you NetGalley and Random House for letting me review this copy.

A thrilling entry in the One of Us Is Lying series. It brings together the characters from both of the previous books for a third mystery in the always chaotic town of Bayview. Loose ends are tied up and as in any good trilogy, it all goes back to the past. Full of twists, character development and more, it is a must read.

One of Us Is Back is the 3rd book in Karen McManus's series.
The gang is back together once again after a new mystery pops up. It starts with a strange billboard that reads "Time for a new game, Bayview." Though it is initially thought to be a harmless prank, soon strange coincidences are piling up and clues are being left.
It was nice to see the whole group again and I was glad that some of the loose ends from the last book were tied up.

Once again, McManus demonstrates why she is such a master of the thriller genre. Readers of the One of Us is Lying series will be familiar with the premise - there is a mystery game connected to the events of the past in Bayview. This time, everyone from the previous two books is back in town and no one has any idea what is going on. Several of our characters have their own secrets to hide, but it's all going to come out in the end.

I love, love, loved reading this. McManus is really great at walking the line between overly stressful and just enough to keep you hooked. The characters behave like teenagers but also aren't stupid; their choices are logical and reasonable. By the end of the story, you're caught wondering how you missed all the little hints and clues that pointed toward the twist at the end. Very much the 'how did I MISS that???' idea that is present in good mystery fiction.

I'm not going to share too much about the plot, because going in blind to this novel is going to make your experience that much better. 100% would recommend, 5/5 don't miss this book!

Being back in BayView was so great. This book really tied the whole series together and the murder mystery club does it again. McManus knocked it out of the park with this series and i would highly recommend it and can see myself re-reading it one day.

First of all Thank you Netgalley and Random Home for the opportunity to read this ARC. This book is the 3rd in a series which you really do need to read in order and if you watched the tv show... no worries this is completely different. This is a collaboration of the Bayview Four from the first book and the New Teens in the Second book. I am glad she kept the whole cast because I really do like most of the characters. Also, this is a YA book which I don't read a ton of other than McManus and a few others but you wouldn't know it other than the age of the characters in the books. It is well written throughout the whole series and each one would be considered a Thriller/Mystery. I do believe the storyline of this one is even better than One of Us in Next and really enjoyed it. This town and these kids just can't catch a break and someone seems to always want revenge. It is told from different perspectives as things are happening and unraveling. They are almost like the Scooby Doo gang where they see a Mystery around them and start sniffing around to solve it. Everything seems to be normal and quieted down from the last disaster and all of a sudden a mysterious billboard pops up and then one of the friends turns up missing. It just gets crazier and more detailed from there. Great Read and I definitely recommend.

Multiple POVs & flashbacks to the past; obsessed w/the characters & relationships, and all the witty banter; was on edge almost the entire time & everything flowed so seamlessly; perfect pace; exquisite execution even w/the large # of characters- I was never once lost or confused; incredible way to wrap up this amazing trilogy

It’s rare that I enjoy sequels, let alone the final book in a trilogy, as much as I enjoyed this one 👏🏻

Special thank you to Delacorte Press and NetGalley for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review!

Okay. I loved the first book. I really did. And the second one was fun to revisit the characters again. But this one? Do you remember soap operas in the 90s? Like how they tried too hard to keep a storyline going, so they'd kill someone off, only to bring them back months later with amnesia? That's how this story felt. We could've stopped at the second book and been good. Of course, there is more drama in Bayview. And the same folks are involved. A good mystery, but j thought it was predictable. And I wasn't satisfied with the ending.

One of the best parts of sequels is getting to hang out with characters you love again. I loved seeing the gang from the first two books reunited over summer break, as something nefarious once again brewed in Bayview. I was happy to be back inside Nate's and Addy's heads - two of my favorite characters from book #1, and enjoyed being back with Phoebe from book #2. My only criticism is that I felt like Addy's and Nate's voices were almost too similar, and I often had to remind myself whose perspective I was reading at any given time. Readers who enjoyed the first two books will be happy to be back with old friends as new twists and turns come for the group. .

Well the Bayview Crew is back and I’m here for it. I absolutely loved the first two books in this series. So I was beyond excited for a third and final installment.

With this latest book of course there’s someone out there coming for the crew and a new game that quickly turns deadly. There’s all kinds of drama, secrets, lies, and manipulation that will have you thankful you’re not in that town.

One Of Us Os Back is a solid ya mystery with a good quick pace. Had life not gotten in the way I could have easily binged this one. Either way I loved it and I’m kind of bummed it’s the final installment.

This was a great trip back to Bayview with the Murder Crew. McManus is so good at creating a compelling mystery and this was no exception.
