We have two detectives on the case- Detective Bledsoe and Detective Gully. Gully and Bledsoe do a fine job of questioning all of the neighbors, and of course the woman with whom William was having an affair with. Now here’s a neighborhood thriller done right! I’ve read a handful of mediocre neighborhood thrillers recently so Everyone Here Is Lying was such a refreshing change. As the title suggests, this is one of those neighborhoods where everyone has a secret they don’t want their neighbors or the police to know. I loved listening to these twists unfold. I have done a post on The Best Book by Shari Lapena. I agree with Goodreads that, while this book kept my interest, this is NOT her best book.
