‘Everybody Lies’ by Emily Cavanagh is a suspense thriller that is set on the island of Great Rock in America. It is an island on which everybody knows everybody, any business is known by everybody. An island that only livens up in the winter, during the Winter Festival. This island has many secrets and so do the residents and this becomes clear after a woman who worked in a restaurant is found strangled. The question is whose secrets include killing her?
The story is told from multiple points of view Caroline, Evvy and Daisy. I enjoy a story told this way due to gaining a wider picture and having different views on the story, I feel like I can get to know the characters. It is a book with a few differing story threads that Emily Cavanagh cleverly weaves together into a book that is a slow burner to begin but has so much going on you want to read what may happen next. She has packed secrets, mystery, lies, murder and crime into one book that hooks you in and keeps you turning the pages. Her characters are all well fleshed out and believable so adds to the suspense within the story.
Thanks to Bookouture and NetGalley for my copy of the book to write this review today.
