Publisher's Summary

AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!

Another thrilling domestic suspense novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Couple Next Door

“The most addictive book I've read in ages—so slick and disquieting and clever. Just brilliant.” —Lisa Jewell, #1
New York Times bestselling author of The Family Remains

“Lapena is a master of manipulation.” —USA Today

Welcome to Stanhope. A safe neighborhood. A place for families.

William Wooler is a family man, on the surface. But he’s been having an affair, an affair that ended horribly this afternoon at a motel up the road. So when he returns to his house, devastated and angry, to find his difficult nine-year-old daughter, Avery, unexpectedly home from school, William loses his temper.

Hours later, Avery’s family declares her missing.

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.

Who took Avery Wooler?

Nothing will prepare you for the truth.

What the critics say

“Shari Lapena has proved herself a master of twisty domestic thrillers, and her latest is no exception . . . You may think you have it figured out multiple times throughout the story, but the true final twist doesn’t come until the last page.” —Glamour.com

“Everyone Here Is Lying is a Shari Lapena signature read: a taut, clever, chilling ride of manipulation and family secrets, with a terrifying question at its core—what if you can't believe the very people you love the most? Lapena masterfully builds a chain of suspense through the unsuspecting neighbors of Connaught Street, and no family is spared. Prepare to be consumed!” —Ashley Audrain, New York Times bestselling author of The Push

“Shari Lapena delivers another brilliant, propulsive thriller in Everyone Here Is Lying. Sharply observed and at times unexpectedly touching, the novel deftly unpicks a tangled knot of deceit and intrigue until the most shocking truth is revealed. I defy you to put it down until you know what happened to Avery Wooler." —Gilly Macmillan, New York Times bestselling author of The Long Weekend

Lots to like

This is an easy thriller listen. Like other reviewers, I found the ending far too thin. It was a let down for sure

Everyone here is… a bit insufferable

At the beginning of this book I felt like I had read it before. I kept thinking of different things that could have happened because it was similar to other books.

The actual plot was, unfortunately, a massive let down. I found every character to be grossly unlikable. The way this 9 year old behaved / was talked about by her family / was made to be a psychopath just didn’t sit well and felt really unrealistic.

The fact that the father was abusive and admitted to “losing his temper” and slapping her (not just once!) but this wasn’t ever called abuse or an issue for anyone (beyond superficially, really) was concerning to me. The fact that the mistress’ husband got a little homicidal just to be like ok just joking was more than strange. The 9 year olds mom across the street wishes she died. It just felt super depressing and like everyone was mentally unstable in a forced way.

Great narration!!

Amazing !

I couldn’t stop listening to it ! The story is really captivating and the narrator is among the best. This book might be adapted for a movie. I enjoyed this novel a lot. Worth a credit for sure.

Good quick binge listen

Good quick binge listen, but the story is a bit flat and unbelievable. It’s read nicely though.

Not good enough.

It has twists, but not surprised me. In general it is an OK book to kill time. The performance is amazing though, love it!

Pretty good!

This was a fun listen that really drew me in. I finished it in 2 days while at work. If you are a fan of liane moriarty, this is a good one for you. Short but sweet. Great narration.

Enjoyed, but left me Wondering

This was a great read, but I was left a bit confused. Feels like there were some doors left open? Though mostly a good read.

No complete ending. You must be kidding

No complete ending. That's not fair. There was no mention of second book. I don't know what else to say for 15 words minimum.
