One of Us Is Lying
This debut launch a compulsive mystery set in a seemingly ordinary high school—five students, one fatal accident, and a killer truth buried beneath a chorus of lies.

One of Us Is Next
In this blistering sequel, a new game arrives at Bayview High, but the stakes remain brutally personal.

Such a Charming Lie
