    One of Us Is Lying

    by Karen M. McManus

    Ok, you’re not going to find a juicier whodunit murder mystery than this. Five high school students enter detention.

    by Shari Lapena

    How well do you really know your neighbors? In a quiet suburb, someone is breaking into houses and computers to reveal the secrets of the residents. Suspicions mount, followed by a murder that brings the neighborhood to a boiling point. This domestic suspense is delightfully nightmarish, and the kind that will have you double checking if you locked the front door.
