How much can you trust your friends....

The text message is just 3 words: I need you.

Isa Leigh drops everything, packs up her baby daughter and heads straight to Salten where she and her 3 best friends attended prestigious boarding school, Salten House. Only Kate still lives in the area, at the crumbling Tide Mill she inherited when her disgraced art tutor father vanished when she was just 17.

Each of the women is running from something, from an act that has haunted them for many years but which they have tried their best to bury: in work, in alcohol, in family, faith and routine.

At school together, the girls used to play a game – the lying game – in which they competed to tell the most outrageous stories to fool tourists. But for some, did the boundaries between fact and fantasy become too blurred?

....and how much can you trust one another?

Reseñas de la Crítica

Ruth Ware is one of the best suspense writers out there and The Lying Game is her strongest book yet. A gripping, unpredictable narrative that shifts like sand underfoot, and a plot that turns like the tide.

A brilliantly original and atmospheric book

You have to know what happens next even if it means missing out on sleep (Sarra Manning)

Thank goodness for Ruth Ware, a contemporary crime writer who’s successfully extracted the integral elements of the genre’s classics… and repackaged them for the modern reader… Ware weaves a nicely knotty, and more importantly, plausible mystery that as well as delivering the expected twists, turns and tension readers will be looking for, also showcases the thorny tensions and loyalties at work in the friendships between her main characters… a book that’s gripping enough to be devoured in a single sitting (Lucy Scholes)

Ruth Ware has done it again! In this exceptional thriller, we are in marshland, where nothing is certain and the deadly secrets we kept with our best childhood friends may be about to resurface. Intriguing to the very last page, this is a superb exploration of friendship, family and a page-turning top-notch mystery that is guaranteed to keep you reading into the wee small hours. I loved it!

Both better written and more subtle than her previous two bestsellers… To read this novel is to have your nerves slowly but inexorably shredded as, over and again, the tension builds and then evaporates until the final, unexpected denouement

Missing Big Little Lies? Dig into this psychological thriller about whether you can really trust your nearest and dearest

You will zip through this well-written tale of friendship, guilt and betrayal (Charlotte Heathcote)

The revelation of just how different the girls have become is as psychologically riveting as the surprising twists of the plot. The quiet unease that pervades the story never lets up (Christina Appleyard)

Wholly original. Four friends conceive...a game of lies with dire repercussions

Read one of Ruth Ware’s other books instead

Slower and less compelling than In A Dark, Dark Wood and The Woman in Cabin 10. Basis of story was interesting, but could have been made more suspenseful and rich.

The Lying Game

Thoroughly enjoyed this book, from beginning to end, and the naration was excellent. Really makes you think.

Not worth the credit!

Dreadfully incoherent! They need to invent a new category of fiction for this book. I really tried to like it
