Ware, Ruth,

The lying game / Ruth Ware - London Harvill Secker 2017. - 371 p. 23 cm.

"On a cool June morning, Isa Wilde, a resident of the seemingly idyllic coastal village of Salten, is walking her dog along a tidal estuary. Before she can stop him, Isa's dog charges into the water to retrieve what first appears to be a wayward stick-and to her horror, she discovers it's not a stick at allb̥ut a human bone. As her three best friends from childhood converge in Salten to comfort a seriously shaken-up Isa, terrifying discoveries are made, and their collective history slowly unravels. Tackling the slipperiness of your memories, the relativity of truth, and the danger of obsessive friendships, Ware's latest novel is a page-turning mystery with compelling characters and electric prose, resulting in an un-putdownable thriller."--Provided by publisher.
