Seven friends throw a 1920s–themed party, where it's all pretend—until one of them is murdered. One of Us Is Lying meets Knives Out in this killer locked-room mystery. Someone brought a knife to the party. To celebrate the end of high school, Izzy Morales joins her ride-or-die Kassidy and five friends on a 1920s–themed getaway at the glamorous Ashwood Manor. There, Izzy and her friends party in vintage dresses and expensive diamonds—until Kassidy’s boyfriend turns up dead. Murdered, investigators declare when they arrive at the scene, and now every party guest is a suspect. There’s the girlfriend, in love. The other girl, in despair. The old friend, forlorn. The new friend, distressed. The brooding enigma. And then, there’s Izzy—the girl who brought the knife. To find the killer, everyone must undergo a grueling interrogation, all while locked in an estate where, suddenly, the greatest luxury is innocence.

"Ms. Morales, one more thing," calls Pilar de León. "Why do you love the Jazz Age?"

I grimace. "It's when all my favorite murder mysteries were written."

"Now you find yourself in one of your own." She tilts her head like an inquisitive bird. "What are the chances?"

The laughter dies out slowly, and I can almost taste the catharsis, the release of pent-up emotions from a terrible twenty-four hours.

"To Blaine," says Marlowe, holding up his glass.

"To Blaine," says Kassidy, "who would have laughed the loudest."

But they're wrong. I am a threat. And I'm going to burn them all down to save myself.
