Lügen. Nichts als Lügen by Helen Callaghan
3.0
"Everything is lies, and nobody is who they seem"
Everything is Lies is my first Callaghan's book and surprisingly this one is a decent mystery thriller book.
The story is told from 2 different POVs; Sophia's POV for the present day and Nina's notebook for past days.
Sophia finds her mom (Nina) committed suicide and her dad (Jared) is in coma. She tries to prove that someone else wants to kill her parents. Then, she discovers Nina's notebook. This kind of storyline reminds me of Verity by CoHo, where the main antagonist read a deceased notebook or journal.
The story is fast-paced and easy to follow. I love Nina's POV more since it's all about CULT. The cult group is sinister and spooky.
As for the character's arc, Sophia is the only well-developed character, while the others are just mehhh. Sophia is an independent woman who lives in city, and brave enough to confront polices and the other cult members. While her mom, Nina is kind of weak woman, suffering from insecure and become easy prey. I find Aaron, the cult leader is a deluded control freak and narcissistic.
Everything in Lies has a surprising plot, unfortunately, I hate the ending.
A decent read.
