One of Us Is Lying

Much in the style of Riverdale, McManus tackles a whodunit story line. When a classmate who self-identifies as both a loner and an outcast is found dead, the prime suspects are the four students who recently spent detention with him. The brain, beauty, criminal, and athlete must work together in order to clear their names and find out what really happened to their fellow detention mate. It’s a mystery not even Betty and Jughead might be able to crack.
