"So many questions...Until the very last page! Needless to say, I could not put this book down!" â??Reese Witherspoon

/> "Once again the author of The Woman in Cabin 10 delivers mega-chills." â??People

"Missing Big Little Lies? Dig into this psychological thriller about whether you can really trust your nearest and dearest." â??Cosmopolitan
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 Londonâ??Fatima, Thea, and Isaâ??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 Christ… (altro)

Informazioni sull'opera

Il gioco bugiardo di Ruth Ware

  1. 10
    Il sentiero dei bambini dimenticati di Elly Griffiths (MissBrangwen)
    MissBrangwen: The settings of these novels are similar (vast and desolate beaches, marshes and tidal flats), only that "The Crossing Places" is a much better novel in my opinion, while in "The Lying Game", the setting was one of the few aspects I enjoyed at all.

Adolescent girls can be very dangerous and I speak from experience, luckily not as dangerous as these. Genuine friendship- I think not, yet they are bound together by the past and the faulty judgment of youth. What seemed like a good idea at the time was clearly not. For all the faults of the protagonists, this is a great read. ( )

I never thought I would enjoy a Ruth Ware novel so little, but "The Lying Game" is dreadfully drawn out and has a cliched and predictable mystery. There is close to nothing that felt fresh or original in this story; I feel as if I've read the same plot dozens of times before, and there was nothing about this one that made it stand out. The writing is solid, but it doesn't save the rest of the elements. Also, there is a bizarrely persistent thread of Islamophobia towards one main character, and although at one point another character makes a weak attempt at "understanding" her friends religion, the sheer amount of snide remarks made and prejudice towards the Muslim woman that go unchecked just don't sit well with me.

Well-written and intriguing, but not compelling. Perhaps I did not love it, because I could not relate to a single character in this book. ( )

THE LYING GAME is told from the perspective of Isa Wilde, a 30-something Londoner and mother of a baby girl. Isa befriended Kate, Fatima, and Thea as a teen when they attended Salten House, a boarding school in a small coastal English town. The foursome had a "lying game" they liked to play, which of course earned them the reputation of being cruel liars. After tragedy strikes and they're faced with a scandal at school, the girls leave Salten House and go separate ways, but the stress of what happened there will continue to haunt them. Fast forward 17 years, and the four women must return to Salten to face the lies of their past.

I have mixed feelings about this book. Ruth Ware is one of my favorite authors, but I don't think this book had the best build up of tension. Lots of drama though! I was very curious about the mystery that the women were hiding, but I felt like the plot was a bit too slow moving. I think I would have preferred hearing other characters' POVs instead of just staying in Isa's head. I did love the creepy atmosphere of the setting. Kate's home is a tumbledown mill right on the water. A solid mystery, though I was hoping for more suspense, less drama.

Disclosure: I received a copy of this book from the publisher through Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review. ( )

The Reach is wide and quiet this morning, the pale blue sky streaked with pink mackerel-belly clouds, the shallow sea barely rippling in the slight breeze, and so the sound of the dog barking breaks into the calm like gunshots, setting flocks of gulls crying and wheeling in the air.
