Synopsis: From the USA TODAY bestselling author of Do No Harm and The Night Olivia Fell—an &“emotionally charged mystery&” (Mary Kubica, New York Times bestselling author)—comes a thrilling new suspense novel about the insidious nature of family secrets…and their deadly potential.If you can&’t remember it, how do you prove you didn&’t do it? Eva Hansen wakes in the hospital after being struck by lightning and discovers her mother, Kat, has been murdered. Eva was found unconscious down the street. She can&’t remember what happened but the police are highly suspicious of her. Determined to clear her name, Eva heads from Seattle to London—Kat&’s former home—for answers. But as she unravels her mother&’s carefully held secrets, Eva soon realizes that someone doesn&’t want her to know the truth. And with violent memories beginning to emerge, Eva doesn&’t know who to trust. Least of all herself. Told in alternating perspectives from Eva&’s search for answers and Kat&’s mysterious past, Christina McDonald has crafted another &“complex, emotionally intense&” (Publishers Weekly) domestic thriller. Perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell&’s I Found You and Karin Slaughter&’s Pieces of Her, Behind Every Lie explores the complicated nature of mother-daughter relationships, family trauma, and the danger behind long-held secrets.
