ETA: The library didn’t cooperate so Marialyce, my reading buddy, and I didn’t get our copies at the same time but we did enjoy discussing it when we both finished. (This was memorable enough that I didn’t forget the plot as soon as I finished!) Where did that baby go! It's hard not to read to the end to find out, and the twists waiting there are gratifyingly clever." Suddenly Stanhope doesn't feel so safe. And William isn't the only one on his street who's hiding a lie. As witnesses come forward with information that may or may not be true, Avery's neighbors become increasingly unhinged. Hours later, Avery is missing. Where could she be or rather has someone taken her? As the hours drag into days, the neighborhood is thrown into chaos, and the neighbors are all pointing fingers at possible culprits starting with William. The police think they have their man when a neighbor steps in to add that she saw Avery get into a car with a young neighborhod boy. The End of Her is a slippery eel of a novel - just when you think you have it in your grasp, it slithers away on a new current. I consumed it in a day. . . . Unputdownable."

As the story unfolds, Avery goes missing, and the police get involved in the search. William is trapped in a web of guilt and fear, unable to admit he saw his daughter before she disappeared. Suspicions arise, and the whole neighborhood is under scrutiny. As witnesses speculate about potential harassment, everyone's lives are turned upside down.

Shari Lapena is an amazingly reliable author. I can always count on her books to be a unique, entertaining and suspenseful treat. She writes domestic thrillers that have me on edge from start to finish. This latest release grabbed me from chapter one and kept my curiosity and interest piqued until the very end. Gripping, clever, and tightly plotted, EVERYONE HERE IS LYING showcases Shari Lapena at her absolute best. I was utterly transfixed. A must-read.” I adored Everyone Here Is Lying. With plots intricately woven, characters skillfully drawn, and shifting narratives that kept me on my toes, I inhaled this book. The pace never flags, the twists are fiendishly clever, and the writing is as perfect as can be." - Liz Nugent I have done a post on The Best Book by Shari Lapena. I agree with Goodreads that, while this book kept my interest, this is NOT her best book. In my review, I do point out the things I liked about the book: the number of suspects and the fact that the book did keep me guessing.

Ms. Lapena’s story takes you on a whirlwind of guessing who is lying and who is telling the truth . . . Just when you think you may have the answers to what happened to Avery, Ms. Lapena takes you into another direction with ease, keeping readers on edge . . . Everyone Here Is Lying is a perfect summer read. The story keeps you interested until the very last sentence and makes the reader long for a sequel.” Lucy Campbell’s debut, Lowbridge (Ultimo Press), is more standard thriller fare, although none the worse for it. Moving between 1987, when 17-year-old Tess goes missing from her sleepy Australian town, and 2018, when her mother, Katherine, becomes obsessed with what happened to her, it is intriguing and compelling. I think I’ve read every suspense book that Shari Lapena has written, and I’ve rated them all four or five stars. This book is no exception, as I thoroughly enjoyed this twisty tale of lies! Characteristically addictive and propulsive, Shari Lapena is the queen of the “just one more chapter” read. A chilling exploration of the worst-case repercussions and extensive fallout of a brief affair."

Everyone Here Is Lying is classic Shari Lapena. Impossible to know what's coming next. Just like The Couple Next Door, you simply can't put it down." - Robert Gold
