For decades Maggie was haunted by her best friend Eve's death when they were teenagers.

As Maggie investigates and re-examines the clues, secrets about what really happened that horrible night begin to emerge. It seems like in a small town, everybody has a secret. Heather Gudenkauf is a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of The Weight of Silence and Not a Sound. Heather lives in Iowa with her family.

Comments

"Once again Heather Gudenkauf proves herself the mistress of the smart, suspenseful small-town thriller that gets right under your skin. In THIS IS HOW I LIED a cold case reopened rips through the sweet veneer of a small town where the crime itself, and some horrific behaviour, long ago scattered the seeds of secrecy and terror amongst a cast of compelling characters. Now that they are adults, the question of who can be trusted, and how far, will have you racing to the end. I was utterly absorbed."

quote Gilly Macmillan, New York Times bestselling author

Through alternating viewpoints Gudenkauf keeps the tension high throughout. Fans of dogged, resourceful female detectives will cheer Maggie every step of the way. Read more...
