Summary
How much can you trust your friends?
The text message is just three words: I need you.
Isa Leigh drops everything, packs up her baby daughter and heads straight to Salten, where she and her three best friends attended prestigious boarding school Salten House. Only Kate still lives in the area, at the crumbling Tide Mill she inherited when her disgraced art tutor father vanished when she was just 17.
Each of the women is running from something, from an act that has haunted them for many years but which they have tried their best to bury: in work, in alcohol, in family, faith and routine. At school together, the girls used to play a game - the lying game - in which they competed to tell the most outrageous stories to fool tourists. But for some, did the boundaries between fact and fantasy become too blurred? And how much can you trust one another?

This is not a thriller
I expected a thriller, therefore action, speed etc. There is none here. A lot of self-analysis instead, a lot of inside thoughts, not vey bright. Maybe some readers like that but I don't. Ware's Woman of the cabin 10 is way better.

I'm honestly not sure...
I listened to the very end, I enjoyed it as I would not have finished it other wise but I'm unsure about whether I enjoyed it or not. never felt like this about a book before.

Great novel. Terrible narrator.
This narrator is TERRIBLE.
Her impression of Fatima is borderline racist. Why does she make Fatima seem so slow?! Almost like she’s just had a stroke.
I’ve listened to this narrator before. And I won’t again. She’s terrible. Just can’t get over the fact she makes Fatima seem like a re*****

A good listen
A good well written book with a couple of nice twists, some obvious clues which made me guess a couple of them but doesn't spoil the book. Resolves well by the end.
Narrator is excellent, clear speech and good accents which make it clear who is speaking.

‘High drama’ - the others are better
I have read these Ruth Ware books in the wrong order and I didn’t find this one as good as the later ones. It’s still well told but didn’t hook me. The others are grounded in normality at the beginning but in this one the murky past is there right from the start. This makes it somehow lack the intrigue of the others. Full of drama but hits the high pitch too soon and lacked the twists and turns. I wasn’t fooled.
