Über diesen Titel

Random House presents the unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of The Lying Game by Ruth Ware, read by Imogen Church.

How much can you trust your friends....

The text message is just 3 words: I need you.

Isa Leigh drops everything, packs up her baby daughter and heads straight to Salten where she and her 3 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?

Kritikerstimmen

Ruth Ware is one of the best suspense writers out there and The Lying Game is her strongest book yet. A gripping, unpredictable narrative that shifts like sand underfoot, and a plot that turns like the tide.
A brilliantly original and atmospheric book
You have to know what happens next even if it means missing out on sleep (Sarra Manning)
Thank goodness for Ruth Ware, a contemporary crime writer who’s successfully extracted the integral elements of the genre’s classics… and repackaged them for the modern reader… Ware weaves a nicely knotty, and more importantly, plausible mystery that as well as delivering the expected twists, turns and tension readers will be looking for, also showcases the thorny tensions and loyalties at work in the friendships between her main characters… a book that’s gripping enough to be devoured in a single sitting (Lucy Scholes)
Ruth Ware has done it again! In this exceptional thriller, we are in marshland, where nothing is certain and the deadly secrets we kept with our best childhood friends may be about to resurface. Intriguing to the very last page, this is a superb exploration of friendship, family and a page-turning top-notch mystery that is guaranteed to keep you reading into the wee small hours. I loved it!
Both better written and more subtle than her previous two bestsellers… To read this novel is to have your nerves slowly but inexorably shredded as, over and again, the tension builds and then evaporates until the final, unexpected denouement
Missing Big Little Lies? Dig into this psychological thriller about whether you can really trust your nearest and dearest
You will zip through this well-written tale of friendship, guilt and betrayal (Charlotte Heathcote)
The revelation of just how different the girls have become is as psychologically riveting as the surprising twists of the plot. The quiet unease that pervades the story never lets up (Christina Appleyard)
Wholly original. Four friends conceive...a game of lies with dire repercussions

Listening to this story I was wondering how I would feel if I were one of the women, if I'd have the same feeling of guilt. I found the guilt question exaggerated. The way things turn out in the end, the really guilty perish in an attempt to save somebody else (atonement??), and everything ends for the best for the really innocent. Though I liked the way the characters were described and on the whole enjoyed listening to the story, the plot in itself seemed dissatisfying, unconvincing, even far-fetched.

You're drawn into the story from the very beginning. Couldn't stop listening. Imogen Church is so much more than a speaker. Her voice, her capacity to create the personalities of the individual characters plus a very well written story make this audio book a great experience for the listener.

Amazing

I love this audiobook.
Usually I am not the hugest fan of female voices when it comes to audiobooks but Imogen Church's voice is incredible. She can imitate the different voices perfectly.
The story is sometimes a bit predictable but still it is with suspense and beautifully written.
This audiobook is perfect for those who love to immerse themselves in stories and empathize with the characters.

Fantastic
