Ending: There’s something completely unpredictable going on under the surface of the story. But once it’s revealed it felt wildly out of place. Worse, when the murder is finally explained, the explanation does not hold up to scrutiny. It simply does not make sense physically or logistically.sᴛʀᴜɢɢʟᴇᴅ ᴀ ʙɪᴛ ᴛᴏ ɢᴇᴛ ɪɴᴛᴏ ᴛʜɪs ʙᴏᴏᴋ, ʙᴜᴛ ᴏɴᴄᴇ ɪ ᴅɪᴅ, ɪ ғᴏᴜɴᴅ ɪ ᴄᴏᴜʟᴅ ɴᴏᴛ ᴘᴜᴛ ɪᴛ ᴅᴏᴡɴ. ᴀs ᴏɴᴇ ᴏғ ᴏɴʟʏ ᴀ ғᴇᴡ ᴘᴇᴏᴘʟᴇ ᴏɴ ᴛʜᴇ ᴘʟᴀɴᴇᴛ ᴡʜᴏ ᴅᴏᴇs ɴᴏᴛ ʟɪᴋᴇ ᴛʜᴇ ʀᴇᴀʟ ʜᴏᴜsᴇᴡɪᴠᴇs ғʀᴀɴᴄʜɪsᴇ, ɪ ᴡᴏʀʀɪᴇᴅ ɪ ᴡᴏᴜʟᴅ ғɪɴᴅ ɪᴛ ᴀ ᴍᴀᴊᴏʀ ᴛᴜʀɴᴏғғ, ᴀɴᴅ ᴘᴇʀʜᴀᴘs ɪᴛ ᴅɪᴅ ᴛᴏ ᴀ sᴍᴀʟʟ ᴅᴇɢʀᴇᴇ. ʙᴜᴛ ᴛʜᴇ ᴀᴜᴛʜᴏʀ ᴅᴏᴇs ᴀ ɢʀᴇᴀᴛ ᴊᴏʙ ᴏғ ɢᴇᴛᴛɪɴɢ ɪɴᴛᴏ ᴇᴀᴄʜ ᴏғ ᴛʜᴇ ᴄʜᴀʀᴀᴄᴛᴇʀs ʜᴇᴀᴅs (ᴛʜᴇ ʙᴇɴᴇғɪᴛ ᴏғ ғɪʀsᴛ ᴘᴇʀsᴏɴ ɴᴀʀʀᴀᴛɪᴏɴ) ᴀɴᴅ ᴛʜᴀᴛ ᴍᴀᴅᴇ ɪᴛ ᴇᴀsɪᴇʀ ᴛᴏ ᴄᴏɴɴᴇᴄᴛ ᴡɪᴛʜ ᴀʟʟ ᴏғ ᴛʜᴇᴍ, ᴇᴠᴇɴ ɪғ ɪ ᴅɪᴅ ɴᴏᴛ ɴᴇᴄᴇssᴀʀɪʟʏ ʟɪᴋᴇ ᴛʜᴇᴍ. One Of Us Is Dead has big Big Little Lies energy, and proudly so. The setup is very similar: rich town, catty housewives, and, as the title declares, one of them is dead. The POV alternates between all the women, in the past before the accident, as well as Jenny’s POV in present-day, being interviewed by the police. A twisty, gossipy romp of a thriller about the ugly side of the beautiful people, with an ending that will drop your jaw. Prepare to be wildly entertained.” Michele Campbell, internationally bestselling author of It’s Always the Husband These women did not save that drama for their mama, that is for sure! Oh, how deliciously devious and spoiled these women were.

Then there is Jenny, the owner of a now posh salon where only the elite go to be polished, coiffed, and fawned over. She offers a place where these entitled, spoiled ladies come together to trash one another at times, while claiming the role of being friends. A mysterious manuscript sends a young journalist on a collision course with an ancient and deadly secret society. Discuss the use of multiple perspectives or narrators in the book. How did this affect your understanding of the story and the characters? Did it add to the suspense or make the mystery more challenging to solve? Because of this exclusivity and frequency of visits, Jenny has come to know her clients very, very well. Almost too well for her tastes. Along with her assistant, Jenny has become quite versed in navigating the ups-and-downs of her clients toxic relationships. After receiving the text from Simon Says, Bronwyn, Nate, Addy, Cooper, and Janae—dubbed "Murder Club"—agree to ignore it. Nate decides to move out of his house after coming home to find his mother furiously drinking. In an attempt to restore the school's good name, Principal Gupta has Nate start tutoring with Fiona, the girl Simon revealed to have stabbed her teacher for unknown reasons. The next day, Simon Says sends Addy the gun they used to kill Jake; Janae tells her she will get rid of it but keeps it instead. Simon Says tells the group to meet at the Hollywood Cinema, their old meetup spot, where they find name tags for each of them on the front row seat. In a deepfake video, Simon tells the group that they want them to pay for hurting Jake. If Murder Club do not listen to Simon Says, a video from Halloween night, proving they were in the woods the night Jake disappeared, will be sent to the police. Later, Addy has a hallucination of Jake.

Super rich husbands, women with way too much drama- and money. Lies, scandals, cheating and of course-drama. I hope you and your book club will enjoy my discussion reading guide for One of Us Is Dead by Jeneva Rose. ✨ I did love the cast of narrators in the audio version, each character having their own voice. I read/listened to One of Us is Dead and vastly preferred the audiobook.
