Four years ago, Brynn left Saint Ambrose School following the shocking murder of her favorite teacher—a story that made headlines after the teacher’s body was found by three Saint Ambrose students in the woods behind their school. The case was never solved. Now that Brynn is moving home and starting her dream internship at a true-crime show, she’s determined to find out what really happened. The kids who found Mr. Larkin are her way in, and her ex–best friend, Tripp Talbot, was one of them.

Continuarea îndelung așteptată a thrillerului despre care vorbește toată lumea, bestseller-ul New York Times Unul dintre noi minte! Acum există un nou mister de rezolvat la Liceul Bayview și un set complet nou de reguli. Haide, Bayview, știi că ți-a lipsit asta. O mulțime de aplicații dedicate bârfelor au răsărit una după alta de la moartea lui Simon, dar în anul care a trecut de când Cei patru din Bayview și-au demonstrat nevinovăția nimeni nu a reușit cu adevărat să învârtă caruselul zvonurilor răutăcioase așa cum o făcea el. Problema este că nimeni nu cunoaște secretele tuturor, cele mai ascunse dintre ele. Până acum. De data aceasta nu e o aplicație – este un joc. Adevăr sau provocare. Phoebe devine prima țintă. Dacă alegi să nu joci, implicit ai ales Adevăr. Iar al ei se dovedește șocant. Urmează Maeve, iar ea ar trebui să știe deja – mereu e indicat să alegi Provocare. Cam pe când Knox e și el luat în vizor, lucrurile au devenit deja periculoase. Provocările sunt mortale, iar Maeve a aflat un lucru important de la Bronwyn în urmă cu un an: nu te poți baza niciodată pe poliție. Nu îți va oferi ajutorul, nu te va proteja. Simon e de mult ieșit din peisaj, dar altcineva din Liceul Bayview este hotărât să-i ducă moștenirea mai departe. De data asta, cu un set nou de reguli. “Puțini reușesc să stăpânească arta suspansului așa cum o face McManus.” (Entertainment Weekly) “Un thriller de la unul dintre cei mai buni autori de cărți de suspans pentru adolescenți, Unul dintre noi urmează îți aduce surprize șocante și răsturnări de situație la care nu te-ai fi așteptat niciodată.” (PASTE)

Új iskolaév kezdődik a Bayview Gimiben. És a titkok nincsenek biztonságban. Simon halála óta sokan próbálták leutánozni a blogját, de amióta a Bayview-i Négyesfogatnak sikerült tisztáznia magát, senki nem tudta betölteni a pletykarovat nyomán keletkezett űrt. Ugyanis senki sem ismeri a tényeket. Csakhogy ez hirtelen megváltozik. A titkok leleplezője ezúttal nem egy applikáció vagy egy blog, hanem egy SMS játék: Felelsz vagy mersz? Ha nem szállsz be a játékba, akkor felfedik egy titkodat. A kiszemelt célpont nem más, mint Phoebe. Phoebe-nek pedig van egy sötét titka. A következő Maeve, akinek már tudnia kellene, hogy mindig a kihívást kell választani. Mire Knox kerül sorra, a helyzet egyre veszélyesebb lesz. A kihívások halálos kimenetelűek, és Maeve az előző évben Bronwyn példáján megtanulta, hogy a rendőrségtől nem kérhetnek segítséget. Sem védelmet. Simon már nincs velük, de valaki továbbra is életben akarja tartani az emlékét a Bayview Gimiben.

Fem unge mødes til eftersidning. Kun fire kommer ud i live... Yale-ansøgeren Bronwyn følger (næsten) altid reglerne. Sportsstjernen Cooper har kun styr på sit liv, når han er på baseball-banen. Skolens ''bad guy'' Nate er godt på vej i den forkerte retning. Skønheden Addy holder for alt i verden sammen på sin tilsyneladende perfekte tilværelse. Og outsideren Simon, manden bag Bayview Highs slapper-app, kommer aldrig til at afsløre noget om de fire andre igen. Han dør, 24 timer før han havde planlagt at offentliggøre deres dybeste hemmeligheder. Efterforskningen viser, at det ikke er et uheld. Og de er alle mistænkt. Alle har hemmeligheder, ikke? Det, der betyder noget, er, hvor langt du vil gå for at beskytte dem...

Overraskende og relevant." - USA TODAY "Overraskende plot, halsbrækkende tempo og fængslende karakterer udgør tilsammen en spændende, du-kan-ikke-lægge-den-fra-dig thrillerish godbid." - THE GUARDIAN "McManus ved præcis, hvordan man skaber et mysterie." - ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY Karen M. McManus har en BA i engelsk fra College of the Holy Cross og en master i journalistik fra Northeastern University.

Acum un serial Netflix! “Unul dintre noi minte” e povestea a ceea ce se întâmplă când cinci străini ajung în clasa de detenție a școlii, iar numai patru ies de acolo în viață. Fiecare este suspect, fiecare are ceva de ascuns. Fii atent la toate detaliile și poate vei fi tu cel care va rezolva enigma: Într-o după-amiază de luni, cinci elevi de la Liceul Bayview intră în camera de detenție. Bronwyn, tocilara, va merge la Yale și niciodată nu încalcă vreo regulă. Addy, prințesa, este frumoasa populară a liceului. Nate, delincventul, este deja eliberat condiționat după ce a fost prins vânzând droguri. Cooper, atletul, este starul echipei de baseball. Și Simon, proscrisul, este creatorul unei faimoase aplicații de mobil care lansează bârfele fierbinți ale liceului. Atâta doar că Simon nu mai iese de la detenție. La finalul orei în care cei cinci trebuie să-și ispășească pedeapsa, Simon moare. Potrivit anchetei, decesul nu este un accident. Luni moare, iar marți apar dezvăluiri senzaționale programate de el despre cei patru colegi care i-au fost alături în clipa morții, ceea ce îi transformă rapid în suspecți. Dacă nu cumva criminalul este altcineva și se află în libertate... Toată lumea are secrete, nu? Ceea ce contează e cât de departe ai merge ca să le protejezi.

Totuus vai tehtävä? Kumman sinä valitsisit: nöyryyttävän salaisuuden paljastumisen vai kohtalokkaan vaarallisen tehtävän? Bayview’n lukiota alkaa piinata uusi oppilaiden menneisyyttä syynäävä painajainen. Tällä kertaa kyseessä on peli - totuus vai tehtävä. Kun ensimmäinen uhri ei halua pelata, hänen puolestaan valitaan totuus. Erityisen synkkä paljastus tekee kerralla selväksi, että tässä pelissä valitaan aina tehtävä. Lopulta peliin mukaan pakotetut joutuvat taistelemaan jopa hengestään. Nuoret ovat omillaan, sillä Maeve on oppinut sisarensa Bronwenin kohtalosta: poliisin apuun ei kannata luottaa. Toisessa suomennetussa romaanissaan Karen M. McManus palaa menestyskirjansa Yksi meistä valehtelee miljööseen, ja tarina tempaa lukijat imuunsa samaan tuttuun tapaan. Tällä kertaa kierrokset ovat vielä kovemmat ja lopputulos todella järkyttää.

Familia înainte de orice, nu? Milly, Aubrey și Jonah Story sunt verișori, însă de-abia se cunosc între ei și niciunul nu și-a întâlnit până acum bunica. Bogată și retrasă, aceasta și-a dezmoștenit copiii încă dinainte ca nepoții să apară pe lume. Așa că atunci când fiecare dintre cei trei primește o invitație să lucreze pe durata verii în complexul ei turistic de pe insulă, sunt surprinși... și în același timp curioși. Părinții lor sunt de acord într-o singură privință – e imposibil să nu mergi când te cheamă bunica. Ar putea fi ocazia perfectă ca să-i reintre în grații. Dar când verișorii ajung pe insulă, devine evident faptul că bunica are cu totul alte planuri pentru ei. Și cu cât rămân mai mult acolo, cu atât își dau seama cât de misterios și întunecat este trecutul familiei din care fac parte. Întreaga familie Story are secrete. Ceea ce i-a despărțit cu ani în urmă încă mai există – și în această vară cei trei verișori vor afla totul. “Fiecare întorsătură de situație te ține cu sufletul la gură... Încă un roman de McManus pentru care merită să faci o noapte albă.” (Kirkus Reviews) “McManus pune în pagină încă un roman plin de mister bine gândit și strunit, care se desfășoară pe mai multe planuri. Îmbină trecutul cu prezentul pentru a-i conduce pe cititori într-o călătorie întortocheată, care-i va ține captivi până la ultimele rânduri.” (Publishers Weekly) “Magistral gândită acțiunea, cu răsturnări de situație, fanii vor fi de-a dreptul fascinați.” (The Bookseller)
