Behind Every Lie has gotten a lot of buzz, as has McDonald’s previous book, The Night Olivia Fell. I think people must like them because they are quick and entertaining, but this book was just too predictable for me. First of all, Eva was struck by lightning. That right there is a little too much! Plus, there were three “twists” in the book and I was able to predict them all. There was only one part that I didn't guess ahead of time and even that wasn't a huge surprise. I also thought the twists were revealed in a kind of jarring way. It felt like they were revealed suddenly. As an introduction to thrillers, I can see this being loved. But when you’ve read other books in the genre, this one just did not hold up.
