It takes place the summer after the events in One of Us Is Next, so a couple of months have passed since that story concluded. Karen: One of Us is Back is the third and final book in the One of Us series. One of Us is Back looks set to hit the shelves in 2023. I’ve also been reading more nonfiction lately, and have enjoyed Crying in H Mart and Shadows in the Vineyard. Some recent favorites include The Box in the Woods by Maureen Johnson, The Hawthorne Legacy by Jennifer Lynn Barnes, and White Smoke by Tiffany D. Karen: I’m a big fan of my own genre-there are so many fantastic young adult mysteries being published now.
What have you read lately that you enjoyed? What are your favorite genres? Or there may not, because that’s how these things go! I can’t speak to future adaptations yet, other than to say that there may be news at some point. You can learn more and watch the trailer here:
Karen: The show will begin streaming October 7 on Peacock. What’s the status? How about future adaptations?
There was some buzz about One of Us is Lying hitting the screen. The idea stayed in the back of my mind for a few years until I’d written other books that were on my plate, and then I thought, okay, what might a story like that look like? And the idea developed from there. But once it was in my head I realized that it was a solid jumping off point for the kind of story I write because, like The Breakfast Club, it begins with the protagonists doing something they shouldn’t.
“Pretty in Pink with murder! Sixteen Candles with murder!” I can’t remember if someone suggested “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off with murder” or if I just thought it. It’s actually somewhat related back in 2017, I was on a panel with other YA authors in Ireland, and we started joking that I should write books based on all the classic 80s teen movies. Famously, The Breakfast Club was your inspiration for One of Us is Lying. Karen: I did, but toward the end of senior year after I’d already been accepted into college, so about as tame a skip as you can get. You’ll Be the Death of Me (November 2021, Delacorte Press) is the story of a ditch day going horribly wrong.
