ABOUT

From the undisputed queen of thrillers comes a boxed set that includes the two bestselling thrillers in young adult fiction, One of Us Is Lying and its sequel, One of Us Is Next.

"When it comes to YA suspense, Karen M. McManus is in a league of her own." —Entertainment Weekly


Pay close attention and you might solve this.

One of Us Is Lying
Five students walk into detention, and only four walk out. According to investigators, the last student's death wasn't an accident. He was planning to post juicy reveals about all four of his classmates the next day, which makes each of them a suspect. Or are they the perfect patsies for a killer who's still on the loose?

One of Us Is Next
A ton of copycat gossip apps have popped up since Simon died, but no one's been able to fill the gossip void quite like he could. The problem is that no one has had the facts. Until now. This time it's not an app, though—it's a game. Truth or Dare. And if you're smart, you'll always take the dare.

STANDARD, PRIMARY, DM AND VARIANT COVERS

Standard and Primary covers are widely available through general retailers. They often have higher print runs and can be cheaper, especially during sales.

In contrast, Direct Market (DM) and variant covers are primarily sold in comic shops. DM editions tend to have more limited availability and may be more valuable to collectors.

The main differences lie in artwork style, availability, price, and collector appeal. Ultimately, the choice between standard and variant covers depends on personal preference, budget, and individual collecting goals.
