The Last Time I lied by Riley Sager

Have you ever played two truths and a lie?

Emma has. Her first summer away from home, she learned how to play the game. And she learned how to lie.

Then three of her new friends went into the woods and never returned . . .

Now, years later, Emma has been asked to go back to the newly re-opened Camp Nightingale. She thinks she’s laying old ghosts to rest but really she’s returning to the scene of a crime.

Because Emma’s innocence might be the biggest lie of all…

I really enjoyed everything about this book, the setting was eerie and perfect, the characters interesting and the plot full of suspense, what better place for a story such as this then in a camp surrounded by mysterious woods and a lake?
I found that I had to keep reading as the answer to the mystery of Emma’s past lay just around the corner but the author didn’t reveal the finale until the very end.
Emma was a strong and realistic character whose guilt caused her to keep things that she didn’t understand to herself but slowly began to unravel as certain things came to light.
Finishing the novel was a satisfying culmination to all that had gone before, the pace was fast, the writing descriptive and engaging and the plot had me on the edge of my seat all the way through.
I will read more from Riley Sager, highly recommended.
