Synopsis
Praise for Ruth Ware's instant New York Times , USA TODAY , and Los Angeles Times bestseller: "So many questions....Until the very last page Needless to say, I could not put this book down " --Reese Witherspoon "Once again the author of The Woman in Cabin 10 delivers mega-chills." -- People "Missing Big Little Lies ? Dig into this psychological thriller about whether you can really trust your nearest and dearest." -- 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 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., Praise for Ruth Ware's instant New York Times , USA TODAY , and Los Angeles Times bestseller: "So many questions....Until the very last page!

    I must say from the very beginning of this transaction that everything went smooth. The seller gave me a good quality product for a great price that was brand new and appeared to be better than what was pictured. I plan on purchasing more products in the near future from this seller. The product was shipped and packaged with care and love. Magnificent communication and all of what I said makes this seller a great asset to the eBay community as well as the marketplace.

    The seller was incredibly communicative and was willing to lump together multiple items I'd purchased to combine shipping, which was greatly appreciated. The item itself was in perfect condition, looks better than in the photo, and was packaged well to avoid any damage during shipping. It arrived quickly and without any issues! Excellent Seller, Goes the Extra Mile. Smooth Transaction, Shipped Very Quickly, As Advertised; Good Price; Well Packaged & Delivered Within a Few Days. A+

    Four young girls that made a promise to keep a lie.

    I have Ware’s other books and this is not of her most intense maybe because it was an earlier book. It certainly was OK but her latter books are extremely good. I can’t wait for the next book by this English writer.

  • I would be lying to say The Lying Game was really good

    The quality of the actual purchase was fine, but I was disappointed in the book. Annoying characters and predictable mystery and solution.
