Review: One Of Us Is Back - Book #3 Bayview Trilogy Series - Karen M. McManus -July 2023
I have been so excited to read this one
as I remember back when Karen M. McManus first released her debut novel One of
Us is Lying, since then she has been one of my favourite YA thriller authors.
One of Us Is Back is book #3 in the Bayview High series as the group is back
for the Summer and about to learn that Jake - the guy who set them up for the
murder of Simon and tried to kill the group is being let out of jail after 6
years. At the same time, a new billboard has popped up with the words
"Time to Play a New Game". Is someone starting up another murderous
game in Bayview? The group is a combination of the characters from the first
book and then the other half is from Book #2. I enjoyed this one but was a
little disappointed when the villain was revealed as it felt disconnected from
the main theme of being related to the Bayview Group itself, but more focused
on Jake and his family. One of Us Is Back floats between the past (Six years prior)
and present timelines and how they connect. I did enjoy this read overall and
it was a good YA thriller read. I am now up to date on Karen M. McManus's
booklist and I am looking forward to what she will bring next to the table.
