This is How I Lied by Heather Gudenkauf
4.0
4.5 ⭐️
This book is about a police detective named Maggie who grew up in a small town. When Maggie was a teenager, she found her best friend Eve brutally murdered. The case remained cold and unsolved for many years. Now, we’ve caught up with Maggie years later. She’s happily married, successful and about to go on maternity leave with her unborn child. Until one day, a new piece of evidence in Eve’s murder resurfaces, and its up to Maggie to investigate. Old secrets come to light, and the reader is left wondering who killed Eve? Does her weird and crazy sister Nola have something to do with it? Does her abusive high school boyfriend? Maggie is on the case, although, she has many secrets of her own.
I genuinely liked this book. I am a big fan of the author and this book did not disappoint. I was hooked early on. I love the writing, the interconnected details that come together and the well-developed characters. I read it quite quickly because I was eager to find out what happened. Some notes, I did not love how some aspects of the past were revealed fairly early on. However, there were still twists and turns, I was left surprised at the end. I liked how the reader was able to read from different perspectives, especially that of Eve. Great read!
