Every Last Lie by Mary Kubica

June 2017

Clara Solberg isn’t prepared to be a single mother after just giving birth to her second child, Felix. Soon after she learns that her husband and daughter were involved in a tragic accident, she discovers that a lot of things aren’t as they appear. She attempts to piece together what happened that night her daughter’s life was spared. Clara discovers that her husband Nick had been lying about their financial situation and his dental practice. It seems one lie only leads to another lie. At what point does the truth emerge from the fall out of all the indiscretions? When the line between reality and fiction blur, how does one make sense of the future? Clara feels she needs to investigate what occurred as she has many unanswered questions especially about the “bad man” to which her daughter Maisie keeps referring. With bits and pieces of information, Clara starts imagining many scenarios in which everyone is suspect.

The story is narrated by Clara and Nick on alternating timelines so eventually the truth is revealed. I enjoyed the story but overall felt it dragged in parts where I wanted to just skip to the end.
