I totally get the appeal of books like 'One of Us Is Lying'. If you're craving more high-stakes, twisty whodunits, 'A Good Girl's Guide to Murder' by Holly Jackson is a must-read. It follows a determined teen investigating a local murder, and the way the story unfolds is pure genius. Another fantastic pick is 'Truly Devious' by Maureen Johnson, which blends boarding school drama with a decades-old cold case. The atmosphere is so immersive, and the characters are incredibly well-written.
For something with a darker edge, 'The Cheerleaders' by Kara Thomas dives into the aftermath of a series of tragic deaths in a small town. It's chilling and impossible to put down. If you enjoy stories with multiple perspectives, 'Two Can Keep a Secret' by Karen M. McManus (same author as 'One of Us Is Lying') delivers another gripping mystery set in a town full of secrets. Lastly, 'One of Us Is Next' is the sequel to 'One of Us Is Lying' and ramps up the tension even more. These books all have that perfect mix of suspense, relatable teen dynamics, and jaw-dropping reveals.

As a longtime fan of YA mysteries, I think 'One of Us Is Lying' set a high bar, but there are plenty of others that hit the mark. 'The Naturals' by Jennifer Lynn Barnes is a fantastic series about teens with unique skills solving cold cases. It's like 'Criminal Minds' but for YA readers. Another gem is 'Sadie' by Courtney Summers, which alternates between a podcast transcript and Sadie's perspective as she hunts for her sister's killer. The format is fresh, and the story is heartbreakingly good. These books offer that same blend of suspense and emotional depth.

I'm obsessed with YA mysteries, and 'One of Us Is Lying' is one of my all-time favorites. If you loved it, you'll probably enjoy 'The Inheritance Games' by Jennifer Lynn Barnes. It's about a girl who inherits a billionaire's fortune and has to solve puzzles to keep it. The twists are insane, and the characters are so much fun. Another great choice is 'Pretty Little Liars' by Sara Shepard if you're into long-running series with tons of drama and mystery. For a standalone, 'The Cousins' by Karen M. McManus is a clever story about three cousins uncovering family secrets. The pacing is perfect, and the ending is super satisfying. These books all have that addictive quality that makes you want to read them in one sitting.

For teens who love 'One of Us Is Lying', I'd recommend 'We Were Liars' by E. Lockhart. It's a short but intense read with a twist that'll leave you stunned. The writing is poetic, and the mystery unravels in such a clever way. Another great option is 'The Ivies' by Alexa Donne, which is about cutthroat competition at an elite school turning deadly. It's fast-paced and full of surprises. Both books deliver that addictive, page-turning quality fans of Karen M. McManus will love.

If you're looking for mysteries with a similar vibe to 'One of Us Is Lying', I'd suggest 'They Wish They Were Us' by Jessica Goodman. It's about a secret society at a prep school and a murder that shakes everything up. The tension is palpable, and the social commentary is spot-on. Another solid pick is 'The Mary Shelley Club' by Goldy Moldavsky, which follows a group of horror fans who start playing a dangerous game. It's eerie and unpredictable, with a great cast of characters. Both books capture that mix of teen drama and thrilling mystery.

Avery Nash had two lives and one rule. Keep them completely separate.
By day she was the captain of the Crestwood University cheer squad and a Business Management student holding onto her scholarship by her fingernails.
By night she was Scarlett, masked and wigged and untouchable, dancing at Velvet Underground to cover the gap between what her scholarship paid and what her mother's deadbeat boyfriend kept taking from them.
On the night her boyfriend cheated on her with her biggest rival, Avery made one reckless decision. She followed a brooding stranger back to his motel room and gave him the one thing she had been saving.
Her virginity.
"Take off the mask. I want to see you." He had said.
"A little mystery never hurt anyone, did it?" she replied.
She slipped out before dawn, telling herself she would never see him again.
Then she rang her best friend, Jade's doorbell and he answered the door.
Liam Harrington was Jade's new stepbrother, who she hated, the transfer quarterback every girl on campus was already talking about, and the boy sitting three seats away from her in every Business Management lecture.
He was also the only person in the world who knew what Avery felt like without her armour on. He just did not know her real face.
Now Avery was living three lives at once. The captain, the stripper, and the girl quietly falling for the one man she was absolutely forbidden to want.
And the secret that started as one reckless birthday night was growing into something big enough to burn everything she had built.
Arianna ran from Nikolai Voss five years ago and never looked back. She built a quiet life, a new name, and a secret she'd die to protect.
But Nikolai found her. And he's done waiting.
He's powerful, merciless, and he wants to collect every debt she owes him — starting tonight.
Kayla is a smart, focused, top-mark student in her last two senior years of high school in a private facility for rich kids in Florida. All she wants is to get accepted to Harvard and graduate with top marks to follow the career she has set for herself. Her entire life is about becoming an independent and successful vet. She has micro-managed it and planned it to the tiniest detail. Leaving no room for a social life or living her teen years like her peers.
This year has had its ups and downs, with her stepbrother of almost ten years coming to live under the same roof after being raised apart after their parents married. The chaos and drama his appearance has brought since he despises not only his father but Kayla's mother too, has made home tense. He's a rude, defiant, and arrogant pain in her ass who is hellbent on causing trouble and listens to no one.
Dane is the polar opposite in every way - Vain, oversexed, a playboy who takes nothing seriously except booze, girls, and his motorbike while he rebels in every way against his father for ripping apart his family. Looking like a teen idol, acting like someone who doesn't need to take accountability for anything in his life, Kayla honestly cannot stand him. She sees a loser who will live on daddy's money and drink away his youth while sleeping with every girl in the county.
At 17, they have known one another most of their lives and never had any kind of friendly relationship. They have always been classmates but never friends and definitely not siblings. - but all that is about to change.
A story about a heroine as she experiences the ups and downs of a high school life while striving to finish her mission as a secret spy. But, is it really that easy being a secret spy in high school?

I totally get the craving for more books like 'One of Us Is Lying'. Karen McManus nailed the teen mystery vibe, and if you're looking for similar page-turners, 'A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder' by Holly Jackson is a must. It’s got that same addictive mix of suspense, twists, and a teenage sleuth you can’t help but root for. The way Pip unravels the case feels so real and intense, and the podcast elements add a fresh twist.
Another fantastic pick is 'The Cheerleaders' by Kara Thomas. It’s darker and grittier, with a small-town mystery that digs into secrets and lies. If you love the 'breakfast club but deadly' setup, 'Two Can Keep a Secret' by Karen McManus is another great choice—same author, same sharp writing, but with a whole new eerie small-town vibe. For something with a bit more humor but still plenty of suspense, 'Truly Devious' by Maureen Johnson is a blast. The boarding school setting and quirky characters make it a standout.
If you loved the juicy drama and whodunit tension of 'One of Us Is Lying,' you've got to check out 'A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder' by Holly Jackson. It’s got that same addictive blend of high school gossip and dark secrets, but with a twist—the protagonist, Pip, decides to reinvestigate a closed murder case for her school project. The way Jackson layers clues and red herrings is masterful, and Pip’s podcast-style narration adds a fresh, modern vibe.
Another gem is 'The Cheerleaders' by Kara Thomas, which dives into the aftermath of a series of tragedies in a tight-knit town. It’s less about a single explosive secret and more about unraveling a web of lies that’s been festering for years. The pacing is slower but the payoff is worth it, especially if you enjoy small-town mysteries with a side of creeping dread. Personally, I couldn’t put it down once the pieces started falling into place.
For a standalone that packs a punch, 'Firekeeper's Daughter' by Angeline Boulley is phenomenal. It's a thriller-mystery rooted in Ojibwe community and culture, which adds a layer of depth you rarely see. The mystery is gripping, dealing with a drug investigation, but the heart of the story is about identity, family, and protecting your people. It’s mature, powerful, and unforgettable.
