I love Shari's signature twisty thrillers and "Everyone Here is Lying" upholds her reputation. 

Quick Synopsis: Prestigious doctor, William Wooler, is a family man but the book opens with him having an affair with a coworker. She breaks it off, and William finds himself home early to his daughter, Avery, being home from school, unexpectedly. After an argument, Avery is reported missing...

The title of this book is SPOT ON - everyone is lying and it gets worse chapter by chapter. Sadly, the deceit affects innocent neighbors as the plot thickens in this character-driven novel. Once you find out what really happened to Avery, let's say I was not expecting that.

This may be one of my favorite Shari Lapena books yet! Even the cover adds a little bit of mystique...
