From the instant New York Times bestselling author of blockbuster
thrillers In a Dark, Dark Wood and The Woman in Cabin 10 comes a
chilling new novel of friendship, secrets, and the dangerous games
teenaged girls play.
On a cool June morning, a woman is walking her dog in the idyllic
coastal village of Salten, along a tidal estuary known as the Reach.
Before she can stop him, the dog charges into the water to retrieve what
first appears to be a wayward stick, but to her horror, turns out to be
something much more sinister.
The next morning, three women in and around London--Fatima, Thea, and
Isa--receive the text they had always hoped would never come, from the
fourth in their formerly inseparable clique, Kate, that says only, "I
need you."
The four girls were best friends at Salten, a second-rate boarding
school set near the cliffs of the English Channel. Each different in
their own way, the four became inseparable and were notorious for
playing the Lying Game, telling lies at every turn to both fellow
boarders and faculty. But their little game had consequences, and as the
four converge in present-day Salten, they realize their shared past was
not as safely buried as they had once hoped.
Atmospheric, twisty, and with just the right amount of chill to keep you
wrong-footed, The Lying Game is told in Ruth Ware's signature
suspenseful style, lending itself to becoming another unputdownable
thriller from the Agatha Christie of our time.
