Publisher's summary

The highly acclaimed author of Watching Edie returns with a new novel of dark psychological suspense that explores how those closest to us have the most to hide....

A daughter

Beth has always known there was something strange about her daughter, Hannah. The lack of emotion, the disturbing behavior, the apparent delight in hurting others.... Sometimes, Beth is scared of her and what she could be capable of.

A son

Luke comes from the perfect family, with the perfect parents. But one day, he disappears without a trace, and his girlfriend, Clara, is desperate to discover what has happened to him.

A life built on lies

As Clara digs into the past, she realizes no family is truly perfect and uncovers a link between Luke's long-lost sister and a strange girl named Hannah. Now Luke's life is in danger because of the lies once told and the secrets once kept. Can Clara find him before it's too late?

Critic reviews

"The Lies We Told has the makings of your perfect weekend read. Think: an obsession, a dysfunctional family, and a disappearance, with an unreliable narrator to top it all off. Page, turned." (The Skimm)

“[T]he construction and pacing are solid, staying just far enough ahead of the reader to be fun, and offering, in the last quarter, a buffet table of twists.” (New York Times Book Review)

“[A] twisty psychological thriller.... Think you have the plot figured out? Think again. There are no easy answers in Way's dark, compelling story. Grade: A” (The Cleveland Plain Dealer)

6 Stars

Only the 2nd book I've given 6 stars too :) It was SO very good. I could not wait to read (or listen via Audible actually) everyday. I was worried, based on some other reviews, it would be confusing going back and forth between 1980's and current day, with a lot of characters, but it was not..it was GREAT! Probably the first time I felt truly creeped out by a character in a long time. Hannah.

Eh on the performance

I had a really hard time listening to the voice of one of the readers. It really didn’t match the character for me. The book was amazing a part from that!

A twisted tale

I was interested in the story until it began to unravel toward the end. Then I lost interest.

Surprises all along the way

Great suspense and good narration for at least most of the characters. Sometimes not young enough for the teenagers. This is not unique to just this narrator. I get confused by the ages or gender in many of the audible books.

The Twist!

Well done storyline. Loved the way it twisted at the end. Was not particularly crazy about the narrator. One had a voice that her pitch bothered me. But i enjoyed the book.
