The Lying Game

“Atmospheric, mysterious, gripping.” Marian Keyes on THE LYING GAME “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.” Erin Kelly, bestselling author of HE SAID, SHE SAID “Cancel your plans for the weekend when you sit down with this book, because you won’t want to move until it’s over.” Kirkus, Starred Review “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!” Liz Nugent, bestselling author of LYING IN WAIT “There can be no complaints about the fizzy present-day narrative, with the interplay between the women particularly well-handled.” – John Dugdale The Sunday Times
