Review: All Our Lies Are True - Lisa Manterfield - September 2023
This thriller drew me in with
the cover. In All Our Lies are True we meet Abby who is now 22 years old.
When she was six years old, her twin sister Cassie disappeared from their cabin
and has been missing without a trace. That is until now when her body is found
as a pile of bones at the lake where they were camping that Summer went
missing. Abby can't quite remember what happened, just that after it happened.
Her family stopped talking about Cassie and the family moved away to have a
fresh start. Now the reporters are back around and focusing on Abby's Dad as
the Killer. But Abby isn't quite convinced but she knows for certain her family
has been keeping secrets and one of them, if not all knows exactly what
happened that night Cassie vanished. Did one of them kill her? Was it her Dad
when he found out that maybe Abby and Cassie weren't his children but Uncle
Dave's - his brothers instead? Was it the older sister Libby who is a control
freak, someone who steals passports of people who look similar to her or was it
her mother who donated Cassie's things and tried to erase Cassie from their
lives after she vanished? Or is it someone else entirely? All Our Lies Are True
was a rollercoaster of emotions and lots of back and forth and trying to
connect the dots and keep your head on straight as it made me the reader feel
as if I was a ping-pong ball or pinball going from person to person. This
book I found is aimed at Teens to New Adult as the plot and characters did seem
younger than adults would enjoy. If you love Karen M. McManus and Riley Sager,
then you will enjoy All Our Lies Are True by Lisa Manterfield this spooky
October.
