Review: The Last Time I Lied - Riley Sager - July 2018
Have you ever gone back to a
book a second time around and found yourself enjoying it the second time? For
me, that was Riley Sager's The Last Time I Lied. I tried it initially in August
2019 and at that time I couldn't get into it and rated it 2 stars which is my
DNF score. However, in the last year, I got back into Riley Sager's books and
decided to make it my mission to read his entire backlist and this one and his
latest were the only two left on my list. I still have the new one on my library
hold list. This time around, I managed to finish The Last Time I Lied and it
was a good read and left us with an OMFG twist at the very end that Riley Sager
is famous for. Those twists and surprises we don't see coming. The novel
is split into two timelines - past ( 15 years ago) and present time.
Fifteen years ago Emma attended Camp Nightingale and one night three of her
cabin mates left Dogwood and never returned, they vanished without a trace. The
camp closed shortly after and Emma's life was rocky as she punished herself.
Now Fifteen years later, the camp is reopening and Emma has been invited to be
the Arts and Crafts Director. During the second time around though, those
memories of the past will bubble up more so when Emma finds Vivian's diary and
decides to track their movements that fateful night. What happens though when
three girls from Dogwood now go missing and Emma is left looking like the main
suspect as history repeats itself? Can Emma find these girls and in doing so
solve the mystery of what happened fifteen years ago? Find out in The Last Time
I Lied by Riley Sager.
