Eva Hansen wakes in the hospital, after being struck by lightning, to be told by police that her mother Kat was found murdered. Although Eva has no memory of the night's events, the police are suspicious of her because of certain evidence. Determined to find out what happened, Eva takes it upon herself to start an investigation. As she starts to unravel her mother's past, will Eva be putting herself in danger?

Behind Every Lie suffers from too many plot lines with too many twists. Had the story just been about her mother Kat and the past that has come back to haunt her, the story would have been much better. The dual timeline between Kat's present and past made sense, as the telling of the story was pieced together. Without spoiling the plot, especially the conclusion, all I can say is that certain elements seem to be there just to move the story along and are not realistically placed. The last few pages ruined the book for me and, for that reason, I would be hesitant to recommend Behind Every Lie to other readers.

Gallery Books and NetGalley provided me with an electronic copy of Behind Every Lie. I was under no obligation to review this book and my opinion is freely given.
