Publisher's Summary
Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Everything Is Lies by Helen Callaghan.
No-one is who you think they are.
Sophia's parents lead quiet, unremarkable lives. At least that is what she's always believed.
Everyone has secrets.
Until the day she arrives at her childhood home to find a house ringing with silence. Her mother is hanging from a tree. Her father is lying in a pool of his own blood, near to death.
Especially those closest to you.
The police are convinced it is an attempted murder-suicide. But Sophia is sure that the woman who brought her up isn't a killer. As her father is too ill to talk, it is up to Sophia to clear her mother's name. And to do this she needs to delve deep into her family's past - a past full of dark secrets she never suspected were there....
What if your parents had been lying to you since the day you were born?

Refreshingly original and compelling
I devoured this book, finding it truly difficult to turn off. It’s always a pleasure to discover a truly original story that is well written, exciting and beautifully narrated. I won’t say any more to avoid spoilers.

The best book I’ve listened to in a while
I loved this book. The plot really gripped me, especially in the beginning when I was trying to figure out what was going on with Sophia’s Mum. I did guess some of the plot twist, but I like that when you think you’ve figured it out but are not sure.
The narrators were really good.
There were a few characters I would have liked to have heard more from, that could have been developed further. But I really enjoyed the book and found myself re-listening to sections so it would last longer

Ok not great
I enjoyed this book at first however I didn’t think the tone of the main character Sophia was great. Whilst her actions were believable her lack emotion wasn’t to me. I also think the twist if that’s what you would call it was very obvious from quite early on in the book.

Prose was nice, but plot was weak at the end
The end of this novel was quite disappointing. I found that the twists were quite predictable from early on. I enjoyed the story itself, although the change in narrative style in the last 2 and a half chapters was quite jarring; as was the accent that one of the actors puts on in the second-last chapter. (I had appreciated throughout that the voice acting had avoided being cheesy while still feeling authentic to each character.) The final quarter of the novel felt very rushed, as though the intention the whole time was to close up all the loose threads in a hurry, rather than to actually deliver a proper solid explanation for the events of the book and I was disappointed by that.
I enjoyed the characters’ development very much throughout the middle section of the novel, and in combination with the voice acting made a pleasant and exciting listen.

Engaging read
Enjoyed it a lot. Fast paced and full of suspense. The characters were credible and once started, I didn't want to put it away.

Genuinely Thrilling
What did you like most about Everything Is Lies?
I could not predict where this story was going most of the time so never wanted to switch it off
What about Anna Popplewell and Sian Thomas ’s performance did you like?
Excellent performances. The voices were distinctive and well chosen. This made it very easy to follow and added to my enjoyment of the story.

Unbelievable characters and plot!
Looks like I'm the only person here who didn't enjoy this book at all!
It started off Ok but then when the mother started telling her story it just unravelled into unbelievable drivel!! And when the Dad's story kicked in....well I gave up.
I'm not even sure why this rates as psychological thriller.
As you can tell I'm left underwhelmed.

Crime by numbers
Meh. So very predictable. From the reviews I thought it would be something I'd enjoy. Felt like a waste of time.

wow wow wow
This book had me hooked right from the beginning, I did work out the twists quite early on but that doesn't change the fact that this is one of the most amazing books I have ever read. The bad part is, now I have to try to find a book that can come close to this amazing read. That is going to be tricky!

Excellent performance
I have been listening to a lot of true crime podcasts lately, so it was nice to have a change with some fictional crime. I truly loved this audiobook, I kept wanting to listen to the next episode!
