From the author of The Night Olivia Fell - an "emotionally charged mystery" (Mary Kubica, New York Times bestselling author) - comes a thrilling new suspense novel about the insidious nature of family secrets...and their deadly potential.
If you can't remember it, how do you prove you didn't 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 can't remember what happened but the police are highly suspicious of her.
Determined to clear her name, Eva heads from Seattle to London - Kat's former home - for answers. But as she unravels her mother's carefully held secrets, Eva soon realizes that someone doesn't want her to know the truth. And with violent memories beginning to emerge, Eva doesn't know who to trust. Least of all herself.
Told in alternating perspectives from Eva's search for answers and Kat's mysterious past, Christina McDonald has crafted another
"complex, emotionally intense" (Publishers Weekly) domestic thriller.
Behind Every Lie explores the complicated nature of mother-daughter relationships, family trauma, and the danger behind long-held secrets.
"Behind Every Lie is a deep, suspenseful novel packed with family secrets. Christina McDonald has a true gift for creating characters that are so well-developed, it feels like you know them. An outstanding achievement!"
Samantha Downing, author of the #1 International Bestseller My Lovely Wife

Emma Rous, bestselling author of The Au Pair
"Christina McDonald follows up her smashing debut The Night Olivia Fell with another winner. McDonald starts with a bang, then builds the action steadily, a gradual unfolding of secrets and lies that will have you constantly switching alliances. Read it like I did, in one sitting and straight through to the end, because you won't want to put this one down."
Kimberly Belle, internationally bestselling author of Dear Wife
"Christina McDonald’s Behind Every Lie is a layered, gut-wrenching domestic thriller that explores the complexities of mothers and daughters and the secrets families keep.
