You'll Be the Death of Me by Karen M. McManus

It's been almost two weeks since I finished You'll Be the Death of Me by Karen M. McManus, but because life often gets in the way, I'm just getting around to writing this. McManus is a must read for me.  If she has a new book being released, it will immediately go to the top of the TBR pile.  And her latest novel did not disappoint.  She is a master of suspense and mystery.  She always creates an ending that will shock you. You'll Be the Death of Me checks all of the boxes.  This one was so much fun and I can't wait to see what McManus has in store for us next!

INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the author of One of Us Is Lying comes a brand-new pulse-pounding thriller. It's Ferris Bueller's Day Off with murder when three old friends relive an epic ditch day, and it goes horribly—and fatally—wrong.

Ivy, Mateo, and Cal used to be close. Now all they have in common is Carlton High and the beginning of a very bad day. Type A Ivy lost a student council election to the class clown, and now she has to face the school, humiliated. Heartthrob Mateo is burned out from working two jobs since his family’s business failed. And outsider Cal just got stood up . . . again. 
 
So when the three unexpectedly run into each other, they decide to avoid their problems by ditching. Just the three of them, like old times. Except they’ve barely left the parking lot before they run out of things to say. . . 
 
. . . until they spot another Carlton High student skipping school—and follow him to the scene of his own murder. In one chance move, their day turns from dull to deadly. And it’s about to get worse. It turns out Ivy, Mateo, and Cal still have some things in common...like a connection to the dead kid. And they’re all hiding something. 
 
Could it be that their chance reconnection wasn’t by chance after all? 
 
Fans of the hit thriller that started it all can watch the secrets of the Bayview Four be revealed in the One of Us is Lying TV series now streaming on NBC's Peacock!
