The Last Time I Lied by Riley Sager
3.5
I've read five books by Sager, and the experience was dud after dud. I don't like the female characters Sager writes, and his mysteries are usually eh to me. However, I'm happy to say I truly enjoyed The Last Time I Lied. This novel is my favorite Sager so far.
There's a great level of misdirection in this story. You're led to believe one thing, and once the twists start, it's like, "How did I miss this?!" That's a well-done final plot twist. Other than the Pretty Little Liars vibe the story gave off, the twist earned this novel half a star. I guess the plot twists in thrillers fairly easily, and this one flew over my head.
