About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

From the author of One of Us Is Lying comes a brand new pulse-pounding thriller. Three former friends ditch school for old time's sake - with horrible and deadly consequences.


Ivy, Mateo, and Cal used to be close - best friends back in middle school. So, when Cal pulls into campus late for class, and runs into Ivy and Mateo, they decide to ditch school. Just like old times.

But they're not the only ones skipping school that day. When the trio spot classmate Brian 'Boney' Mahoney acting suspiciously downtown they follow him into an empty building, and walk straight into a murder scene.

Brian's not the only one keeping secrets, and when their day of freedom turns deadly it's only a matter of time before the truth comes out.

I still loved the story and narration. Fun characters and some nice diversity. I wasn't ready to say goodbye by the time it ended.

Guessed the main twist really early, BUT..

This was a fun listen, well-paced with multidimensional characters. Lots of twists and, while not everything was a surprise, it kept me on my toes. I found neurotic high-strung Ivy a bit much at times and the campus vloggers shallow and annoying, but I think this was intentional. The book ends on a bit of a cliffhanger and you can imagine with gleeful horror what might happen next but it would have been even better to have it spelt out. Karen McManus certainly knows how to create an engaging story and the voice actors were all great.

Totally engaging
