The Lying Game

Ruth Ware

Aisa, the mother of a little girl who lives with her husband in London, receives a "I need you" message overnight and leaves for Rich without a second thought. Two other women, Thia and Fatima, do the same at the same time. The message has been sent by the fourth of the group, Kate, because in Rich a human bone has just been washed from the sea ... The four girlfriends in their school years played the "Game of Lies": who will tell the biggest lie and deceive someone - sometimes to avoid punishment, sometimes just to make fun - but with an inviolable rule not to lie to each other . Now they are called upon to manage their deeply hidden secret. A story of love and solidarity with a strong dose of mystery.
