About this item

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER From the critically acclaimed author of One of Us Is Lying comes a new thrilling 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.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great YA Horror Book

    My son loves horror books and movies, I do not! lol He really enjoyed Karen M. Mcmanus's previous books, including One of Us is Lying, so in an effort to find something in common to discuss with my teenager I bought him a copy of this book, as well as a copy for myself. My son was very excited to see that this had come in the mail for him and he went about reading it immediately. He LOVED his book and surprisingly I enjoyed it as well. The story is well written with enough mystery and unknown to be interesting by not nightmare inducing. The arc of the characters is compelling and I found the "horror" aspect to be less agregious than I was expecting thank goodness!

    My Thoughts:

    When Brynn moves back to St. Ambrose School, four years after Mr. Larkin’s murder, she is just as eager to find out who killed him as she was before. And now she has an opportunity to be an intern at a true-crime show, which could help her find answers.

    However, she keeps her involvement a secret, and as she starts peeling back the layers of what happened that day, she learns that there is so much more to the story. And those who were there are not revealing the answers. Brynn’s old friend Tripp, who has not been a friend for a while, begins to warm up to her again. But he is still not sharing much about that day.

    Just when she begins discovering more layers, and as Tripp opens up more, their searching leads them to unexpected places. When there seems to be Nothing More to Tell, answers begin to surface. An intriguing tale that earned 4.5 stars.

    Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2024
    Mysteries that occur in schools and colleges always have a interesting edge. It is a vulnerable time of life with complex motivations. This book is particularly good at giving us sympathetic and complex characters. “Nothing More to Tell” ranks at the top of my list of this sub-genre. Well worth reading.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Too many spinning pieces
    Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2022
    I’m sorry for the nebulous review, but I don’t want to give spoilers.

    While the Bayview series was literary crack, this is more like waterlogged pot. All the Is were dotted, all the Ts crossed, but there were simply too many of them. I found myself surfing the web after each chapter because the book didn’t hold my interest. The ending didn’t come close to rivaling One of Us is Next, but I suppose very few books would.

    On a plus note, I think I heard a rumor that Bayview will have another installment.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Quick read but not as amazing as her Lying trilogy
    Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2024
    Nothing More to Tell is a quick read but stretches reality a little more than her other reads - it doesn't get as many requests as the Lying trilogy in my 8th grade classroom, but it still gets traffic. As the teacher prereading it, I found it predictable but maybe because I read everything she writes as soon as I can get my hands on it?? Thanks to #NetGalley for the preview copy of #NothingMoreToTell by Karen M. McManus - I am eagerly awaiting her next release!

    4.0 out of 5 stars McManus is a queen of YA mystery

    4.5

    Giving this 4.5 because there is no definitive answer to this who done it.

    But with that being said I am truly a Karen McManus fan. She does a great good with keeping readers engaged. There are always a plethora of characters involved in the story but it never feels muddled. I thoroughly enjoy how she continues with a format of bouncing back and forth between characters for narration of chapters.

    Also love that all of her stories take place in the same world and get mentioned in other novels.
