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?

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.

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.

Takes a long time to get going
Overall enjoyed the book, could have been shorter, an awful lot of backstory and it doesn't really get going until the last hour or so. Liked the character developments throughout though.

Ruth Ware and Imogen Church my favourite pair on Audible
My favourite narrator so I’m going to listen to anything with her. Ruth Ware is so good that one of her books not up to the standard of The Turn Of The Key is still a book well worth a listen.

Original and engaging story
A good story, original and engaging. A little too drawn out in places and read too slowly by the narrator but I will listen to more by this author for sure.

Enjoyable read
Enjoyed this book & Imogen Church’s narration was great. I enjoyed the storyline as what the present mystery was referring to had all happened in the past when the characters were at school. It was woven to entwine their current lives with their past selves and I liked this angle of the past catching up with you. So many elements in the book were almost like a count down timer from the events happening, to the waters rising around the house. This gave the whole book a sense of urgency to get a resolution before time ran out...
Great listen but not quite as good as ‘In a dark, dark wood’. The bar has been set very high!
