Really great story from Kubica. I've read a few from her and know to to expect the unexpected. No disappointments here. I like how the story unfolded from the two perspectives.

Clara’s life implodes when her husband is killed in a car crash. Her four-year old daughter, Maisie who was in the car with Nick, is not hurt. The police rule the crash an accident, but not long after, Maisie begins to have terrible nightmares, leading Cara to believe there may have been more than just bad luck to blame for the accident. Told in both Clara and Nick’s voices in the run up to the accident, Clara will soon realize how little she knew the man she called her husband. Once again, Kubica delivers a high octane thriller with more than a few surprises for readers

Clara Solberg has a perfect life .... at least up until the day her husband, Nick, and her daughter, Maisie are in a car crash. Nick is killed, Maisie, fortunately, got nothing but a scratch.

The accident is ruled an accident ... Nick had been speeding and apparently lost control and rammed into a tree. However, Maisie is having night terrors, leaving Clara to think that maybe her husband was murdered.

Clara has to find out the truth. She can't sleep, she doesn't eat. She hasn't even told Maisie yet that her daddy is gone. Her grief is overwhelming and she's obsessed with the idea that her beloved husband was murdered.

Her pursuit of truth leads her to secrets that her husband kept from her. She didn't know how much in debt they were. She doesn't know that he had begun gambling. She doesn't know that Nick fired his best friend? What else is there that she doesn't know?

The story is told in part by Clara, the here and now. Nick's story is told in his voice in the months leading up to his death.

This is another highly suspenseful story by this author. The story premise is cleverly written and the characters are solid. The ending was quite different from what I thought it would be.

The only thing I really didn't like is that there seems to be no separation (as in chapters) between Clara's story and Nick's remembrances. They ran into each other. I would be reading Clara and then all of a sudden it would hit me that I was reading Nick. Just a tad disorienting.

Many thanks to the author / Harlequin (US & Canada) / Park Row Books / Netgalley for the advanced copy of EVERY LAST LIE. Opinions expressed here are unbiased and entirely my own.
