This is a very intriguing thriller. It is fast paced with lots of twists. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the advance reader copy.

I was gifted this book to read and review. This is my opinion of the book.
This is a psychological thriller. It is written from two main perspectives. However, all the characters have an opportunity to voice their perspectives is a smaller, but no less important way. Clara is the person that the events are happening to. She and her boyfriend, Luke are happy in their relationship. Then Luke disappears. While she is trying to contact people who have known him throughout his life, she begins to see that the person she thought she knew may not be that at all. Trying to find clues she begins to discover disturbing events about his whole family. The family she loved and admired. The family that everyone knew as the perfect family.
This is an exciting work of fiction, that can probably be actually happening in one way or another. The characters are real, with problems of their own. The storyline is exceptional. Great read.

5 stars for this intriguing mystery thriller that holds your attention throughout the book. From the very first page it grips your attention and keeps you turning the pages to find out what happens next. The narrative is told in alternating points of view by Beth, past, and Clara, present; each narrator leads you through an intriguing story that is disturbingly intense. How does Beth handle her child, Hannah, when she is fearful.of her? What does Clara do when her boyfriend, Luke, disappears? As you turn each page, a piece of the mysterious tale is revealed and it just gets more interesting as the story progresses until you reach the climatic ending.

I really enjoyed reading this book and would recommend it for sale in the bookstore as well as on my social media review page and blog group.

Wow! This is a great mystery that keeps you guessing. There are two stories being told and the author does a fabulous job of meshing them together so the story flows. From Luke’s disappearance which sets off the chain of events to the last little twist revealed at the end, I found myself riveted.

Fast paced, I had a hard time putting this one down. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great mystery/thriller.

Many thanks to the publisher for a review copy via NetGalley.

Thank you for the early copy.

I picked this up because of the plot and it was enjoyable read. A interesting and well done novel. I recommend this for fans of mysteries or thrillers.

A great many people will enjoy this book. Many will find interesting the tortuous buildup of its dark nature. The numerous twists and turns will make this a psychological thriller for a wider audience than this reviewer.
I do not generally enjoy books that take place in more than one time, that is, when the past is inserted rather than blended. Although some are masterfully done, this is not one. I also do not care to read disconnected bits and pieces of different and apparently separate stories, except as separate stories in a collection. Here, they are dissonant in time and content. One simply assumes the connection is part of the to be revealed thrill. I found it so bothersome that it was difficult to push through the book. Neither story on its own was particularly gripping. In each there was a gloss of unreality coating the behaviors of those involved. Skipping from one to the other across time and action did not enhance.
I am giving it three stars because my personal bias against the writing style is sufficient to distort the content. I've read far, far worse

Wow what a book!! Can’t wait for everyone to read this one! It will keep you up way into the night do have a pot of coffee ready for the morning! Must read!

LIES, LIES EVERY WHERE!! What a story!! I got caught up in the story and at every turn I was wondering what happened next! I was come up with one explanation, and later it was shown to be wrong!! So suspenseful! Great read!!

Two stories years apart that keep you on the edge of your seat. The author does an excellent job of bringing the characters to life and sending chills down your back.

When I started this book it was pure excitement....it grabbed me by the throat and I was unable to put it down. So why only 3 stars? Because, sadly, once we got to he "big" reveal... it was like a giant pin came along and burst my balloon. It wasn't anything out of the ordinary, it was anti-climactic for me. Almost like no big whoop. I just thought it was going to be so much better. Sigh.

Wow! OMG! What a story! It was hard to put this book down, I read it in one afternoon. It had lots of twist and turns! I really enjoyed it and thought it was really good!!

This was a solid 4.5 stars raised to a 5. Clara and Luke are living together when he disappears. Clara reports it to the Police and they soon learn that he, when leaving work, got into a van that had previously been stolen. The van was eventually found but Luke was not around. Clara and Mac, their best friend, begin to look into Luke’s past to see if it gave some clues about what happened to him. They also spent time with his parents and brother, Tom. A sister, Emily, had left home when she was 18 and never contacted her family again. While this story was being told, a secondary story about Hannah and her family was also being told in every other chapter. I will not go any further into the story because of spoilers, but will say the reader will find themselves reading more than they intended because of a strong desire to learn what happens next. Everyone is hiding truths and no one is telling why. The ending is imminently satisfying and also worrisome. Thanks to Net Galley and Berkley for an ARC for an honest review.

It's not a god sign when you're reminded to review a book and you can't remember what it was about.I actually had to read the first chapter again, and when I said aloud "Oh, right, this one." The writing was good, but the reveal was obvious. The author relied on too many tropes, which I found disappointing. I want to be surprised when I read a mystery and not be able to figure it out at all.

Strap in, because you're not putting this book down.

"The Lies We Told" is a psychological thriller in every sense of the word. You think you know where the story is going? You don't. Oh, but now you've figured it out? You haven't

One of my favorite elements of this story is you don't know who to trust. The reader ends up on this journey guessing and second-guessing every word.

I really don't want to give too much away because this is such a compelling read I think one needs to go into it with minimal information in order to get the most out of this brilliant novel.

I was provided an egalley of this book in exchange for an honest review.

The Lies We Told by Camilla Way is receiving awesome reviews. I know I’m going to love a book when it consistently earns four and five-star reviews. “Explosive thriller” and “twisted” are how this one is being described. A thriller should be explosive and twisted, don’t you think? For some reason, I am also drawn to British writers much of the time. I like a book set in England,



When Clara’s boyfriend, Luke, disappears, everyone believes that he’s left her, but Clara thinks she knows the truth. Recent evidence suggests that Luke had a stalker, and Clara worries that he’s been kidnapped. Then Luke’s older sister, Emma, who vanished twenty years ago, suddenly reappears.

Emma wants to help Clara with her search for Luke, but she refuses to talk about what happened–even though it nearly destroyed her family when she vanished. And the deeper Clara digs into Luke’s mysterious disappearance, the more convinced she is that the two incidents are connected.

Have you read this one yet?

I was fully engaged in this book! I was even biting my nails!!

I found <i>The Lies We Told</i> very interesting. It is told in two narratives (past and present) and at the beginning they seem to have nothing to do with each other. But, being the smart bitch that I am (also because, why would the author narrate two different scenarios if they weren't related? Duh!) I knew the past and present were linked, I just didn't see how.

I liked the twists and I totally loved Hannah; at the same time, I wanted the psycho to pay for her... "crimes."

One of the characters was full of righteousness (at the age of 18 or 19, nonetheless), that despite the wonderful upbringing her parents gave her, she couldn't look pass the mistake of one of her parents and she chose to leave home and never contact her parents of brothers again. I was like, seriously? That is for your parents to fix between them, not you. But anyways, this is the only thing that I disliked.

The ending was satisfying for me and at the same time it was a cliffhanger; does this book have a second part? If it is so, it better comes out soon before I lose all interest in the characters.

All in all, a good mystery/thriller that I very much enjoyed.

Thank you Netgalley for providing me with a free copy of this title.

An intriguing thriller. The story weaves from past to present as the lies are slowly revealed. Fast paced with lots of twists.

I was hooked on this book from the first page.
The writer developed these characters to the point I really felt their personalities .
It was non stop intrigue- full of twists and turns and always leaving you guessing.
Hannah’s character brought out a lot of emotions.
This was the first book I read by this author.
I would certainly read her other books.
Five stars!!!

Suspense thriller well drawn out. It starts as two different tales one told by Beth and other by Clara's perspective. Beth is from the past, mid 1980s, Clara is current 2017, the two eventually converge to the same story line. Beth has a daughter with the classic sociopathic personality and her tale is sad and powerless. Clara tells of her boyfriend's disappearance. When someone disappears completely and you decide to try and find him, you had best be ready for what you will find out about that person, and Clara learns quite a bit of conflicting information from the man she loves.
This is a twisty turning mystery, where is he, is he alive, who did this, why, the family dynamics, it all keeps you turning the pages. All is answered, and lots to think about at the end.

Between the unexpected twists and turns this book had a lot of good writing and a very clever plot. The story is told by two different women-Beth, revisiting her past and past mistakes and Clara, narrating a current day drama unfolding when her boyfriend disappears seemingly in thin air. I highly recommend for any other reader currently under the British invasion of mystery thrillers.
Thank you to Net Galley and the publisher for a chance to read and review.
