This Is How I Lied

By: Heather Gudenkauf

Narrated by: Brittany Pressley

Gudenkauf proves herself the master of the smart, suspenseful small-town thriller that gets right under your skin.” —Gilly Macmillan, New York Times bestselling author of The Nanny

Everyone has a secret they’ll do anything to hide…

Twenty-five years ago, the body of sixteen-year-old Eve Knox was found in the caves near her home in small-town Grotto, Iowa—discovered by her best friend, Maggie, and her sister, Nola. There were a handful of suspects, including her boyfriend, Nick, but without sufficient evidence the case ultimately went cold.

For decades Maggie was haunted by Eve’s death and that horrible night. Now a detective in Grotto, and seven months pregnant, she is thrust back into the past when a new piece of evidence surfaces and the case is reopened. As Maggie investigates and reexamines the clues, secrets about what really happened begin to emerge. But someone in town knows more than they’re letting on, and they’ll stop at nothing to keep the truth buried deep.

Don’t miss Heather’s upcoming twisty locked-room thriller, EVERYONE IS WATCHING!

it was a great story. so glad it ended the way it ended and I will be getting more books from this author

very suspenseful

I was guessing the whole time... I did guess correctly but there was several twists and turns that had me questioning my original thoughts! overall a great story!

predicted but still good

I knew half way who 'done it'. But was thrilled with the ending!! thank you for sharing your twisted mind in book form. I personally cannot handle the dog part so I skipped there.

Amazing!

This is the second book I've read from this author and like the first, you are kept guessing! The narrator has a pleasant voice and is easy to listen to.

The characters keep you guessing

I am such a fan of Brittany Pressley as a narrator. She brings so much debth to every character. I loved all the twists and turns and how each revelation created another layer. Great read. I listened day and night.

Great Story

I really enjoyed this novel. The reader and story were great. It moved a good pace and wasn't predictable as some mystery novels could be. I will definitely check out more from this author.

Different kind of story line

The story was a bit different from the usual. It kept my interest with action and emotion. Nicely done!

Decent Story

I love this narrator
Decent story, by why does everyone have a home phone?
I enjoyed the story, called the ending. I thought they over did it on Nola. Some unnecessary scenes.

MrBallen found his callin'

The POV from which his stories are told is something to respect. Blessed with a soothing voice too.

Twists and turns!

This was such a great book! I was literally hooked. It’s also never what you think…which keeps it interesting!
