Natalia Mansoor asked this question about In the Hall with the Knife (Clue Mystery, #1):

this is a copy of One Of Us Is Lying by Karen McManus, are you ashamed??

If you mean that a limited number of suspects was locked in or trapped with the victim at the time of the murder, that is an incredibly common setup. But the setting, the characters, and the crime itself are very different between the two books.

If you like YA mysteries with this setup and want to try some more, you might enjoy:
- Ten by Gretchen McNeil
- The Rules by Nancy Holder
- Party Games by R.L. Stine
All of these, by the way, came out before One Of Us Is Lying. It's just a really common setup for a murder mystery, like I said. In fact, it's one of my favorites! :)(less)
