The Last Time I Lied by Riley Sager. Thirteen-year-old Emma Davis goes to Camp Nightingale and gets assigned to Dogwood Cabin with three 16-year-old girls. They vanish. The girls are not found, and the camp is shut down. Emma feels guilty, PTSD-guilty, rehab-guilty. When the camp reopens 15 years later, she ends up in Dogwood again with three different teenage girls. These girls also disappear, and she is the prime suspect. There are so many suspects that until the end, you can never be sure. A well-written and fast-moving mystery.

First Riley Sager and I really enjoyed this. Was gripping from the beginning and was an enjoyable read. Theo is just 🤤😮💨. But I must say the ending was a little bit wild for me. I would have like a bit more explanation than that.
