So my first Riley Sager book that I read was Lock Every Door. Overall, I was not impressed. However, after a lot of feedback, I picked up another title that he wrote, and I AM SO HAPPY I DID. The Last Time I Lied follows Emma, an artist who is obsessed with painting three girls. Come to find, the three girls that she is painting disappeared during her time in summer camp and have never been found.

Upon a series of events, she is brought back to the summer camp to teach the campers painting and it provides an opportunity to investigate their disappearance. Through her investigation, Emma has a series of characters who could have been the kidnappers, uncovers a secret history of the camp, and is faced with the actions of her past. All while the evidence and mounting suspicion from the camp leaders are pointing at her for these past crimes. Overall, I loved this book. Between the fast-paced plot and how Sager leaves you questioning the sanity of the main character, this is definitely a must-read title.
