About this listen
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?

Slow
I enjoyed it, but it was very slow. It would be a good book to read on a rainy winter's day.
Some very tense moments. The accents were fantastic, really made each character distinctive and memorable.

Riveting!!!
What a story! No idea how it was going to end the whole time, had me guessing what the twist was until the very end! Highly recommended!

Beautifully written and read
This story kept me locked in from the very start. The narrator did a wonderful job and was very pleasant to listen too. The story of four friends meeting up as adults to face their past was captivating, heart wrenching and bloody funny at times too.

Unexpected ending
I enjoyed this book. Not face paced but still enjoyable. Took me a while to get into it though. The ending was very unexpected but good.

horribly slow
Voice actor fantastic. Story incredibly slow and mundane. Couldn't finish it. Will request a return on this one, not worth the credit.

Don't bother
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
plot
Would you ever listen to anything by Ruth Ware again?
Yes, I enjoyed and would recommend her previous two books
What does Imogen Church bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
Yes - her amazing narration is the whole reason I chose to listen to this book
You didn’t love this book--but did it have any redeeming qualities?
Imogen church
Any additional comments?
Eugh - very disappointing. I found Ruth Ware's last two books a tad far-fetched but still enjoyable, but even the amazing narration of Imogen Church couldn't save this one. I've never come across a book that is both (a) so far-fetched and yet somehow (b) so dull. I've actually dropped my rating to 1.5 from 2 after sleeping on it. WAY too dramatic for little action, extremely forced "surprise" ending (!?) - I would barely call it a surprise. The "twist" I'd say felt like a haphazardly tied-up plot line. Don't bother. It's too bad because I was really looking forward to this one!(EDIT: I definitely enjoyed the start, but the momentum and intrigue plateaued significantly about 30% of the way through)

Terribly disappointing
I should have go on what other readers have said that it was not worth the read. Story terribly drawn out and not that gripping at all. I will not read any books by this author. Narrator very good hence two stars.

So much angst, so little time
I can’t believe I finished this sophomoric angst ridden psycho drama. The first person narrator, Isa made me want to scream. The ONLY positive thing I have to say is that Imogen Church in her Audible rendering made it bearable.

A long drawn out story that is not believable. May help you fall asleep though
