Every Last Lie: A Thrilling Suspense Novel from the author of Local Woman Missing

By Mary Kubica

New York Times bestselling author of THE GOOD GIRL Mary Kubica is back with another exhilarating thriller as a widow's pursuit of the truth leads her to the darkest corners of the psyche.

Clara Solberg's world shatters when her husband and their four-year-old daughter are in a car crash, killing Nick while Maisie is remarkably unharmed. The crash is ruled an accident...until the coming days, when Maisie starts having night terrors that make Clara question what really happened on that fateful afternoon.

Tormented by grief and her obsession that Nick's death was far more than just an accident, Clara is plunged into a desperate hunt for the truth. Who would have wanted Nick dead? And, more important, why? Clara will stop at nothing to find out--and the truth is only the beginning of this twisted tale of secrets and deceit.

Told in the alternating perspectives of Clara's investigation and Nick's last months leading up to the crash, master of suspense Mary Kubica weaves her most chilling thriller to date--one that explores the dark recesses of a mind plagued by grief and shows that some secrets might be better left buried.

This was my first Mary Kubica book and I plan to read more of her after this one. I loved this book, and the mysteries within. My only complaint about it is that I guessed the major twist in the very beginning because there was one very obvious detail that gave it all away. But I had to keep reading to find out if I was right. When I found out that I got it right, I still enjoyed reading the unfolding of the mystery, but it did take some of the punch out of the suspense for me.

I generally enjoy Mary Kubica novels, so this was an easy choice for me. This time, though, I was most interested in viewing how she handled writing in dual timelines AND multiple voices (and they’re a number of them!) because that’s my style of writing as well. There’s a lot going on in this novel, and I found myself flipping back to previous pages, which is okay. . . nothing wrong with double checking on which character is up to no good during a different time period.

14% and abandoned. While the prologue got my attention and felt intriguing, by the end of the first chapter I just couldn’t. There were both a few too many implausibility’s and contradictions to overlook. Additionally, the writing was too choppy, abrupt. What an early reader would read like.

I didn’t see any of this coming. Just wow. Wow! Incredible. Edge of my seat. Absolutely perfect. No notes.

This was a great thriller! Definitely a rollercoaster of emotions throughout the book.
I never suspected anything, I was absolutely mind-blown when I got to the end.
So sad, but such a good read!
5 stars for me⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
