Lying Game (Ware) - Book Reviews

Book Reviews
[An] engrossing psychological thriller…. Alternating between the past and present, Ware builds up a rock-solid cast of intriguing characters and spins a mystery that will keep readers turning pages to the end.
Publishers Weekly


The mystery unfolds slowly and the "big reveal" is likely to be guessed at by observant readers. Verdict: Though not as chill-inducing as her previous titles, Ware's latest offers nuanced characters, an atmospheric small-town British setting, and a satisfying mystery. —Kiera Parrott
Library Journal


(Starred review.) Ware masterfully harnesses the millhouse’s decrepit menace to create a slow-rising sense of foreboding, darkening Isa’s recollections of the weeks leading to Ambrose’s disappearance.… [W]ith arguably her most complex, fully realized characters yet, this one may become her biggest hit yet.
Booklist


(Starred review.) Suspense queen Ware's third novel in three years introduces four women who have been carrying a terrible secret since their boarding school days, a secret that is about to be literally unearthed.… Cancel your plans for the weekend when you sit down with this book, because you won't want to move until it's over.
