Simon Kelleher's Death In The Book One Of Us Is Lying

What happens when the brain, princess, criminal, athlete, and the outcast walk into detention, but only the first four make it out alive? It appears that his death wasn’t an accident. Karen M. McManus debut young adult novel, One of Us is Lying, was published in May 2017. Each one of them has a motive, something to hide, and some sort of connection with Simon. One of them is definitely lying...right? It’s 2:55 on a Monday afternoon, five students from Bayview High walk into detention. There’s Cooper, the athlete, the glorious baseball pitcher. Bronwyn, the brain, the goody two shoes whose bound to end up in Yale. Nate, the criminal, is on probation for dealing drugs. Addy, the princess, the picture perfect with a boyfriend who treats her like a queen. Lastly there’s Simon, the creator of Bayview’s ruthless gossip app. It appears someone had framed each one of them by putting a phone in their bookbag which leads all of them in detention, but who did this is the real question. How did Simon Kelleher’s die? It’s easy, everyone knew he was allergic to peanuts and always kept a water bottle with him. Someone took his water bottle and put peanut oil into water cup. Of course that's not all, this murderer hid all the epipens so there was no way he could survive.

As time went by, Officer Budapest suspected these four students for multiple things such as killing Simon as a group and quilt tricking them because they all had a secret no one wanted to know about. Sooner or later lawyers get involved into these fake accusations. All except for Nate Macauley, he just has a alcoholic father, a mother who hasn’t shown up in years until Bronwyn helps him
