From #1 New York Times bestselling author of One of Us Is Lying comes a new page-turning mystery. Be sure to keep your friends close . . . and your secrets closer. Four years ago, Brynn left Saint Ambrose School following the shocking murder of her favorite teacher--a story that made headlines after the teacher's body was found by three Saint Ambrose students in the woods behind their school. The case was never solved. Now that Brynn is moving home and starting her dream internship at a true-crime show, she's determined to find out what really happened. The kids who found Mr. Larkin are her way in, and her ex-best friend, Tripp Talbot, was one of them. Without his account of events, the other two kids might have gone down for Mr. Larkin's murder--but instead, thanks to Tripp, they're now at the top of the Saint Ambrose social pyramid. Tripp's friends have never forgotten what Tripp did for them that day, and neither has he. Just like he hasn't forgotten that everything he told the police was a lie. Digging into the past is bound to shake up the present, and when Brynn begins to investigate what happened in the woods that day, she uncovers secrets that might change everything--about Saint Ambrose, about Mr. Larkin, and about her ex-best friend, Tripp Talbot. Four years ago someone got away with murder. More terrifying is that they might be closer than anyone thinks.

"Echo Ridge is small-town America. Ellery's never been there, but she's heard all about it. Her aunt went missing there at age seventeen. And only five years ago, a homecoming queen put the town on the map when she was killed. Now Ellery has to move there to live with a grandmother she barely knows. The town is picture-perfect, but it's hiding secrets. And before school even begins for Ellery, someone has declared open season on homecoming, promising to make it as dangerous as it was five years ago. Then, almost as if to prove it, another girl goes missing. Ellery knows all about secrets. Her mother has them; her grandmother does too. And the longer she's in Echo Ridge, the clearer it becomes that everyone there is hiding something. The thing is, secrets are dangerous--and most people aren't good at keeping them. Which is why in Echo Ridge, it's safest to keep your secrets to yourself"--

So when they each receive a letter inviting them to work at her island resort for the summer, they're surprised ... and curious. Their parents are all clear on one point-not going is not an option. This could be the opportunity to get back into Grandmother's good graces. But when the cousins arrive on the island, it's immediately clear that she has different plans for them. And the longer they stay, the more they realize how mysterious-and dark-their family's past is. The entire Story family has secrets. Whatever pulled them apart years ago isn't over-and this summer, the cousins will learn everything"--

Milly, Aubrey og Jonah Story er fætre og kusiner, men de kender knap nok hinanden, og de har aldrig mødt deres rige bedstemor, som slog hånden af deres forældre, før de blev født. Så da de modtager en uventet invitation til at komme og arbejde på hendes ferieresort sommeren over, bliver de både overraskede og nysgerrige. Men da Milly, Aubrey og Jonah ankommer til Gull Cove Island, står det hurtigt lysende klart, at de hemmeligheder, der splittede Story-familien ad for længe siden, langt fra er et overstået kapitel. Denne sommer kommer sandheden frem."Alt det vi ikke vidste" er endnu en pageturner af forfatteren til "En af os lyver". En fortælling fyldt med hemmeligheder og uventede plot-twists.Karen M. McManus har en BA i engelsk fra College of the Holy Cross og en master i journalistik fra Northeastern University. Hun bor i Cambridge, Massachusetts, og når hun ikke er i gang med sin næste bog, elsker hun at rejse sammen med sin søn. Hun debuterede i 2017 med bestselleren "En af os lyver", som lige siden har været placeret på den prestigefulde New York Times-bestsellerliste. I 2019 udkom den anmelderroste "Echo Ridge", og året efter fulgte så den selvstændige fortsættelse af debutromanen "En af os dræber".

Fortsættelsen til En af os lyver "Kom nu, Bayview, I ved, I har savnet det.? Det er et år siden, Simon døde, og et år siden, at Bayview-firkløveret blev renset for alle anklager, og i tiden der er gået, har der ikke manglet nye sladderaps på Bayview High. Men ingen har kendt folks hemmeligheder lige så godt som Simon. Indtil nu. Denne gang er det ikke en app. Det er en leg. Sandhed eller konsekvens. Phoebe er det første offer. Hvis du vælger ikke at lege med, afslører gamemasteren en hemmelighed. Og Phoebes er mørk. Maeve er den næste, og hun burde vide bedre: Vælg altid 'konsekvens'. Da det bliver Knox' tur, er konsekvenserne blevet dødelige. Simon er væk, men nogen er fast besluttet på at føre hans arv videre. Og denne gang er der et helt nye spilleregler. Den længe ventede fortsættelse til bestselleren En af os lyver tager os tilbage til Bayview. Til helt nye karakterer og et helt nyt, dødeligt mysterium. Men også til både Bronwyn, Nate, Addy og Cooper.
