About this listen

Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Everything is Lies by Helen Callaghan, read by Anna Popplewell and Sian Thomas.

No-one is who you think they are

Sophia's parents lead quiet, unremarkable lives. At least that is what she's always believed.

Everyone has secrets

Until the day she arrives at her childhood home to find a house ringing with silence. Her mother is hanging from a tree. Her father is lying in a pool of his own blood, near to death.

Especially those closest to you

The police are convinced it is an attempted murder-suicide. But Sophia is sure that the woman who brought her up isn't a killer. As her father is too ill to talk it is up to Sophia to clear her mother's name. And to do this she needs to delve deep into her family's past - a past full of dark secrets she never suspected were there . . .

What if your parents had been lying to you since the day you were born?

Really engaging story & well told from two perspectives. Only one little detail at the end bothered me & struck me as illogical but I can’t say what it was as it would be a spoiler! See if you can spot it!

Loved it

For a light read, this was pretty good. The characters weren't well developed however the twists and turns of the story will be enough to get you through the book. The performances were excellent.

Shallow characters but interesting story

This story started well but siin lost credibility. It lacked in character development and cohesion.

A Little Disjointed

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
It wasn't at all what I expected & I was totally hooked. It was equally a thriller & a drama, a story in the end of lifelong neglect & abuse.

Kept me guessing

Another great listen from these two narrators who brought this story to life on so many captivating levels. I’m not sure which narrator played Nina, one of the protagonists, but her voice could melt chocolate. An enthralling listen!
