In this way, Death of Me's real meaning is not that human sacrifice is evil (which it most often is) or that Christine is an innocent victim (which she definitely is), but instead, that in varying degrees, societies thrive when they contain people either willing to sacrifice themselves or others for the prosperity of the group. Since Christine does seem to be alive at the end, she will ultimately have to make a decision about the sacrifice she herself is willing to make, because she likely is still carrying the island's baby and the amulet, both of which have the potential to continue the island's dark tradition wherever she goes next. When Christine is later found by another boat after the storm, she appears to be dead to the man who finds her. He dutifully puts her into a body bag and innocently tosses the amulet in with her. The movie's final frame shows Christine waking up, seemingly alive, inside the body bag. It's not certain that she is actually still alive, since one of the islanders said that she exists on a spiritual plane somewhere between life and death. While Christine seems to be alive at the end, the events on the island did happen, and she is likely to continue suffering the effects of the island's magic, whether she believes in it or not. Although it might seem that she is now trapped in a body bag, it doesn't change the fact that the amulet is keeping her alive. Ideas can come from all kinds of places. I got the idea for One of Us Is Lying while I was driving to work and heard the theme from "The Breakfast Club" movie (I talk more about that here if you're interested). I've also gotten ideas while watching crime shows, reading profiles of prominent families, and from conversations with interesting people. Book Genre: Contemporary, Crime, Fiction, Murder Mystery, Mystery, Mystery Thriller, Suspense, Thriller, Young Adult I give additional writing tips (about thrillers, multi POV, and general advice) here. In addition, this article from Entertainment Weekly outlines my must-haves for a captivating thriller.

PDF / EPUB File Name: Youll_be_the_death_of_me_-_Karen_M_McManus.pdf, Youll_be_the_death_of_me_-_Karen_M_McManus.epub Books featuring mystery and suspense have always been my favorites as a reader, from Agatha Christie when I was a kid to Gillian Flynn as an adult. I'm naturally drawn to dark topics and how people react when they're thrust into a situation that scares or confuses them, but I like to balance that with hope and humor. The real meaning of Death of Me, both its title and its story, is that there are always some people in any society that are willing to sacrifice themselves or others for the greater good. The movie's title has a double meaning that refers to these two types of sacrifice. The title comes from the phrase "be the death of," which means "cause someone to die" either literally or figuratively. However, the title can also be interpreted as the death of the self or the ego. Every islander who benefits from the island magic must make a choice between these two types of sacrifice, and it seems that they have all chosen to sacrifice Christine and not themselves. I started writing stories in second grade, but stopped in high school when it became difficult to finish books. I went to college and did many other things until I read The Hunger Games in 2014 and was inspired to start writing again. I wrote two books before One of Us Is Lying that helped me learn my craft. One of Us Is Lying was the book that got me an agent and, ultimately, a book deal. I listen to music while drafting, and have put a couple of my playlists on Spotify. You can find one for One of Us Is Lying here, and for Two Can Keep a Secret here. Both are samplings of the songs I listened to on repeat while writing.

From the author of One of Us Is Lying comes a brand-new pulse-pounding thriller. It’s Ferris Bueller’s Day Off with murder when three old friends relive an epic ditch day, and it goes horribly–and fatally–wrong. Ivy, Mateo, and Cal used to be close. Now all they have in common is Carlton High and the beginning of a very bad day. Type A Ivy lost a student council election to the class clown, and now she has to face the school, humiliated. Heartthrob Mateo is burned out from working two jobs since his family’s business failed. And outsider Cal just got stood up . . . again. So when the three unexpectedly run into each other, they decide to avoid their problems by ditching. Just the three of them, like old times. Except they’ve barely left the parking lot before they run out of things to say. . . until they spot another Carlton High student skipping school–and follow him to the scene of his own murder. In one chance move, their day turns from dull to deadly. And it’s about to get worse. It turns out Ivy, Mateo, and Cal still have some things in common…like a connection to the dead kid. And they’re all hiding something. Could it be that their chance reconnection wasn’t by chance after all? You’ll Be the Death of Me by Karen M. McManus – eBook Details
