A review by tinamoo
Everything Is Lies by Helen Callaghan

4.0

I received a copy of this book via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This story is about Sophia who works as an architect in London. One night she receives a phone call from her mum asking if she can come home as she needs to speak to her, as Sophia lives a few hours away and she had been out drinking she initially says no but later feels guilty and decides to go in the morning. When Sophia arrives at a parents home the next day she finds her mum has hanged herself and her dad has been stabbed several times. Sophia then puts her career second for once to be by her dad's bedside and get to the bottom of what happened to her parents. 

This is the second book that I have read by this author. This one is a lot different than Dear Amy which I believe was the authors debut novel.  I enjoyed the theme of the book as it was a lot different from other Psychological thrillers. This book is 400 pages long and it did feel it, as there were points in the book were the story seemed to just drag on, especially towards the end.  I partly guessed the ending but I have read a lot of psychological thrillers so I pick up on the clues very easily.  I love this authors writing style and will definitely be reading more from this author.
