She just knows how to spin a hell of a tale.Ī year has passed since Simon's tragic death and the twisted events covered in One of Us Is Lying. If you've never read her other books, you'll love this. If you're a fan of Karen's other books, you'll love this. I finished the book in a night because I NEEDED to know what would happen. The family relationships in this book are beautifully done, and the suspense is killer (lolol sorry I couldn't resist). Even when I thought I knew what was going on, I didn't know what was going on. Why? Because Karen is a consistently wonderful writer and ONE OF US IS NEXT is no different. I will not be subjected to endless exposition or meaningless conversation. I will cringe and yell at the characters. My absolute FAVORITE thing about Karen's books is that I know, going in, that I will be in excellent hands.

I had just put down a very blah book when I picked up this one, and thank goodness I did pick it up because it was a balm on my wounded, grouchy soul. There's just a point at which you've read so much you feel like nothing is surprising anymore. Guys, I've gotten pretty old and grumpy in my reading.
