From the USA TODAY bestselling author of Do No Harm and The Night Olivia Fellโan โemotionally charged mysteryโ (Mary Kubica, New York Times bestselling author)โcomes a thrilling new suspense novel about the insidious nature of family secretsโฆand their deadly potential.
If you canโt remember it, how do you prove you didnโt 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 canโt remember what happened but the police are highly suspicious of her.
Determined to clear her name, Eva heads from Seattle to LondonโKatโs former homeโfor answers. But as she unravels her motherโs carefully held secrets, Eva soon realizes that someone doesnโt want her to know the truth. And with violent memories beginning to emerge, Eva doesnโt know who to trust. Least of all herself.
Told in alternating perspectives from Evaโs search for answers and Katโs mysterious past, Christina McDonald has crafted another โcomplex, emotionally intenseโ (Publishers Weekly) domestic thriller. Perfect for fans of Lisa Jewellโs I Found You and Karin Slaughterโs Pieces of Her, Behind Every Lie explores the complicated nature of mother-daughter relationships, family trauma, and the danger behind long-held secrets.
