ABOUT THE LAST TIME I LIED:
 
Have you ever played two truths and a lie?
 
It was Emma's first summer away from home. She made friends. She played games. And she learned how to lie.
 
Then three of her new friends went into the woods and never returned. .
 
Now, years later, Emma has been asked to go back to the newly re-opened Camp Nightingale. She thinks she’s laying old ghosts to rest but really she’s returning to the scene of a crime.
 
Because Emma’s innocence might be the biggest lie of all. . .
 
A gripping new thriller that you won't be able to put down with a plot that will keep you guessing. If you enjoyed A. J. Finn's The Woman in the Window, you'll love Last Time I Lied

My Review:

Emma is a delicate soul who spends her adult years trying to make sense of a tragedy that happened when she was thirteen years old. When she gets the opportunity to get closure on what happened at Camp Nightingale she takes it. At this point I'm shouting at her to not go back. Of course things go wrong immediately, and Emma has to confront the repercussions of the lies she told.
 
The tension and the plot are riveting and the story is beautifully told.
There are so many lies and assumptions, it's difficult to guess who did 'it' then and now. 
 
It was a complete surprise at the end as the story unfolded.
 
VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
 
Thank you so much the publisher and NetGalley for providing me with a complimentary electronic copy in return for an honest review.
