Publisher's Summary

Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Everything Is Lies by Helen Callaghan.

No-one is who you think they are.

Sophia's parents lead quiet, unremarkable lives. At least that is what she's always believed.

Everyone has secrets.

Until the day she arrives at her childhood home to find a house ringing with silence. Her mother is hanging from a tree. Her father is lying in a pool of his own blood, near to death.

Especially those closest to you.

The police are convinced it is an attempted murder-suicide. But Sophia is sure that the woman who brought her up isn't a killer. As her father is too ill to talk, it is up to Sophia to clear her mother's name. And to do this she needs to delve deep into her family's past - a past full of dark secrets she never suspected were there....

What if your parents had been lying to you since the day you were born?

Shallow characters but interesting story

For a light read, this was pretty good. The characters weren't well developed however the twists and turns of the story will be enough to get you through the book. The performances were excellent.

Loved it

Really engaging story & well told from two perspectives. Only one little detail at the end bothered me & struck me as illogical but I can’t say what it was as it would be a spoiler! See if you can spot it!

Kept me guessing

It wasn't at all what I expected & I was totally hooked. It was equally a thriller & a drama, a story in the end of lifelong neglect & abuse.

Kept me guessing!

Another great listen from these two narrators who brought this story to life on so many captivating levels. I’m not sure which narrator played Nina, one of the protagonists, but her voice could melt chocolate. An enthralling listen!

Thrilling, titillating, albeit predictable

Loved it. A little bit predictable. Does need an indeps story from another character to put a spanner into the works.

Will keep you listening but no literary genius.

Well read and enjoyed the accents (except the Italian one at the end). Just not the best written book. Kept me occupied while moving house however so shouldn't complain. Plenty of action.
