The Last Time I Lied is a twisty thriller that lives up to the expectations Sager has set with his other books. What's most striking about this novel is not the plot but the atmosphere, an isolated luxury summer camp is companioned by a mysterious island and a gothic mansion underneath the lake. While some pieces of the plot don't make much sense, the tone and the setting are what's most inviting, allowing me to forgive any stumbles that take place in it.
