One of Us Is Dead

Product Information

TRIGGER WARNING: all they do is drink in this book. Sometimes they consume more alcohol than humanly possible. I've spent thousands of hours working on these women. I've primped, waxed, cut, painted, spray-painted, powdered and massaged them. I know almost every inch of their bodies. But I also know their demons - their deepest, darkest secrets. The things we try to bury beneath the surface so as not to show the world the doppelganger lurking within us. So, am I surprised something like this happened? Not in the slightest . . .

I've never seen a Housewife show or Kardashians or Bachelor or anything of the sort. And I still enjoyed this. If that helps anyone on the fence. Simon is a gossipmonger, and openly runs a blog called About That which frequently disseminates closely guarded secrets about his fellow students. In the flagrantly Breakfast Club-inspired setup, Simon, along with four other students, is given detention. But Simon never leaves. Since everyone present had a reason to kill him, any one of them could have done it, and all of them are lying about one thing or another. Fans will no doubt be frustrated that One Of Us Is Lying season 3 hasn’t officially been renewed yet. The ending definitely took me for a ride! So much happened and I had so many theories on who did it! If you're looking for something dramatic with a bit of Suspense thrown in, definitely keep this on your radar! Rich people behaving badly is my favorite thing, and this one did nothing but deliver. It had the money, the drama, the secrets, and the betrayal. Everyone loves and hates each other, and no one is as good as they seem.

Ending: There’s something completely unpredictable going on under the surface of the story. But once it’s revealed it felt wildly out of place. Worse, when the murder is finally explained, the explanation does not hold up to scrutiny. It simply does not make sense physically or logistically.

All these women have secrets. All want to protect their secrets. How far will anyone go to protect their secret. That is the question. Big Little Lies meets Real Housewives in this juicy thriller." —Megan Collins, author of The Family Plot Join us as we dissect the characters’ motivations, analyze their choices, and uncover the hidden truths that lie beneath the surface. Get ready for a riveting book club discussion that will keep you guessing until the very end! When I started the book, I was a bit lost with who was who, so I created a cast of characters in my mind and that helped a lot! Then Meg, Ash & I created a cast of bookstagrammers, and that was even more fun 😆!

Reflect on the themes explored in the book, such as betrayal, revenge, greed, or power. How were these themes portrayed and developed throughout the story? Did they add depth to the plot and the characters’ motivations? The ladies residing here lead by the nefarious Shannon, have much too much money and too much time on their hands. Jeneva Rose became an auto-buy author for me after I discovered her debut book The Perfect Marriage on the Kindle store under the "recommended for you" section. This was pre-bookstagram account and I had not heard of her or the book so I went in blind and LOVED it.
