One of Us Is Lying

by Karen M. McManus, Moisés Barcia Rodríguez, Yaʻel Akhmon

A mystery needs tension, misdirection, and the feeling that someone is hiding something—so this playlist alternates between shadowy instrumental suspense and character-driven vocal tracks. It mirrors Bayview High’s shifting social masks (rules, image, guilt, athletic pressure, and outcast secrets) while keeping a medium-focus listening flow for following clues.
