Don't Believe a Word

Eden Radley’s mother, Tara is dead and so is her disabled half brother. The police are calling it a suicide. Eden feels terrible, her mother had texted her the night she died, but Eden had not responded. Granted, mother and daughter had not been close since Tara left her family behind to run away with a younger man, but Eden still feels terrible guilty. Maybe if she had answered that text her mother might still be alive. When Eden arrives in Cleveland for her mother’s funeral, she begins to hear things, to learn things that make her believe she might not have known her mother as well as she thought and she begins to think her mother was murdered. And she can’t help wonder about her stepfather, Flynn Darby. The man is unusual, but is he a killer? A mind bending suspense story. How well do you know your family?

Sometimes you just know when someone is lying to you. Open faced and blatantly.
But sometimes someone will tell you a fib, and only later will you realize the extent of their lies.

The book made me think of the old Shakespeare saying - The world is a stage, and we are all just players on it. We never really know anyone else, and we can never take everything at plain face value.
