This Lie Will Kill You

by Chelsea Pitcher

A thrilling page-turner, perfect for fans of Riverdale, One of Us is Lying and A Good Girl's Guide to Murder.

Tell the truth. Or face the consequences.


One year ago, there was a party.
At the party, someone died.
Five teens all played a part and up until now, no one has told the truth.

But tonight, the five survivors arrive at an isolated mansion in the hills, expecting to compete in a contest with a $50,000 grand prize. But of course . . . some things are too good to be true.

They realize they've been lured together by a revenge seeker who wants to unravel the truth about what actually happened that deadly night, one year ago.

Five arrived, but not all can leave. Will the truth set them free?

Or will their lies destroy them all?

I agree with other reviews that that set up is outlandish, but...I'm okay with that. It's clear to me from the blurb, and most thrillers and horror are anyways. And this is very much akin to I Know What You Did Last Summer. But not as gory or sexy.

I really enjoyed it TBH. It's rare I'm the odd one out on higher ratings--what a lovely change!

I read this book in one sitting at work. I did pick up on hints earlier in the book, but didn't guess the whole enchilada. It did keep me hooked & guessing.

I do appreciate the gayness. Maybe convenient for added layers and relationships, but it didn't feel like that was just being used or the characters toyed with. They weren't labeled but they weren't straight and it was well done.

Excellent way to spend my Monday.
