pucksandpaperbacks 's review for:
One of Us Is Lying
by Karen M. McManus
dark
slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
Plot
Strong character development:
No
Loveable characters:
No
Diverse cast of characters:
No
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
CW: Forced outing, death from allergic reaction, homophobia, homophobic slur (on page).
Using sexuality as a plot twist (forced outing) and villainizing mentally ill characters (and killing off a disabled character) is disgusting and I am so tired of reading mysteries where the mentally ill characters are villainized.
