About this listen

Bloomsbury presents The Lies We Tell by Katie Zhao, read by Elaine Kao.

All Anna Xu wants to do as she starts freshman year at the local prestigious Brookings University is keep up her stellar academic performance, break out of her shell, be more social ... and investigate the unsolved on-campus murder of her former babysitter six years ago.

And if that wasn't difficult enough, it seems that Chris Lu, whose family are the Xu's business rivals, is attending Brookings too. There's no way they can be friends. Until a vandal attacks the Lu's bakery and Anna puts the perpetrator's call sign together with a clue from her investigation into the cold-case murder.

When a very specific threat is made to Anna, she is forced to team up with Chris to undertake a dangerous search into the hate crimes happening around campus. Can they root out the current threat or will the town's ugly history take them down?

I really enjoyed “How We Fall Apart” by Katie Zhao so I had high expectations going into ‘The Lies We Tell’.

I really enjoyed the mystery plot and how the story highlighted rascism within institutions and generally the society we live in today and what it means to feel unsafe in somewhere that should be thought as home.

I feel like uncovering the mystery could’ve been dragged on a little longer with more happening or had more depth but apart from that I loved it!

Murder mystery, coming of age and a dash of romance, what more could you ask for!

Amazingg!!
