THE NO.1 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

Welcome to Stanhope - a safe neighbourhood. A place for families.

William Wooler is a family man, on the surface. But he's been having an affair, an affair that ended horribly this afternoon at a motel up the road.

So, when he returns to his house, devastated and angry, to find his difficult nine-year-old daughter Avery unexpectedly home from school, William loses his temper.

Hours later, Avery's family declares her missing.

Suddenly Stanhope doesn't feel so safe. And William isn't the only one on his street who's hiding a lie.

As witnesses come forward with information that may or may not be true, Avery's neighbours become increasingly unhinged.

Who took Avery Wooler?

Nothing will prepare you for the truth…

Critic reviews

I devoured Everyone Here is Lying in two hits in under ten hours. I can't remember the last time I did that! This really was the most addictive book I've read in ages - so slick and disquieting and clever. Just brilliant.
Everyone Here is Lying is a chilling exploration of the worst-case repercussions and extensive fallout of a brief affair. Characteristically addictive and propulsive, Shari Lapena is the queen of the "just one more chapter" read.
Shari Lapena has done it again with Everyone Here Is Lying. The queen of page-turners has written her paciest thriller yet. I raced through it in two days, desperate to find out what happened to Avery Wooler. The denouement is one of the most satisfying I've ever read - a reveal that made me gasp out loud. Genius. I loved it.
Everyone Here is Lying is classic Shari Lapena . . . just like The Couple Next Door, you simply can't put it down.
'A smart, unguessable mystery set among a cast of satisfyingly flawed characters. Shari Lapena is an auto-buy for me - I always know I'll be in for a treat!
Shari Lapena is a modern master of the psychological thriller, and all of her considerable talents are at work in Everyone Here Is Lying
You'll be gripping the pages so tightly you might tear them
Shari Lapena delivers another brilliant, propulsive thriller in Everyone Here is Lying . . . Sharply observed and at times unexpectedly touching, the novel deftly unpicks a tangled knot of deceit and intrigue until the most shocking truth is revealed. I defy you to put it down until you know what happened to Avery Wooler.
I inhaled Everyone Here is Lying. Shari is a very gifted storyteller, and a most entertaining one. The pace never flags, the twists are fiendishly clever and the writing is as perfect as can be
Everyone Here is Lying is a Shari Lapena signature read: a taut, clever, chilling ride of manipulation and family secrets, with a terrifying question at its core-what if you can't believe the very people you love the most? Prepare to be consumed!

The story felt quite repetitive in parts and the perspectives/characterisation of some characters didn’t feel realistic. I didn’t feel invested in the outcomes of the various plot lines and many were weakly rounded out. It was entertaining enough though.

Entertaining but far fetched

Good plot, well narrated but slightly sinister.. won’t give it away .. but a worthy read for sure

Enjoyable and Sinister

Another great Shari Lapena story, with all the twists and unexpected turns you want from her novels. Some are obvious and some unexpected, but at a pace where y out keep doubting who did the kidnap.

And a great, and unexpected end, where just know you want the real story to unfold.

Brilliant story and fantastic narration

Fabulous

I've read all of Shari Lapena's books and love them. This was another 'page turner' albeit in audio form. I've read the other reviews and I sometimes wonder what people are looking for - even if some things can seem a bit unbelievable, the book can still be enjoyable. For me, a sign of a good book is that I can't wait to find out what happens, but put off the last half an hour or so because I don't actually want it to end - that happened with this book.

There's more I would like to say but I'm mindful not to spoil the plot for anyone. Certainly if you're already a fan of this author, I would give it a go.

Plus, January LaVoy is an excellent narrator.

Really good tale of a missing girl. No idea who has taken her and all of the clues could point to anyone. Lots of stories and people with secrets. Well worth a listen. Very good!

Excellent! Keeps reader guessing.
