The Lying Game de Ruth Ware

The Lying Game

Autor Ruth Ware
en Limba Engleză Paperback

Proza lui Ruth Ware se distinge printr-o atmosferă densă, aproape tactilă, unde mediul înconjurător devine un personaj activ și amenințător. În The Lying Game, descoperim o tensiune care pulsează sub suprafața unei prietenii vechi de decenii. Patru femei. Un mesaj scurt: „Am nevoie de voi”. Un pact din adolescență care refuză să rămână îngropat. Subliniem modul în care autoarea construiește suspansul nu prin acțiune violentă, ci prin paranoia izolării într-un sat de coastă unde mareea aduce la suprafață secrete vechi. Observăm o structură narativă care pendulează între nostalgia toxică a anilor de școală și teroarea prezentului. La intersecția dintre The It Girl și In a Dark, Dark Wood, această carte combină dinamica de grup fragmentată cu sentimentul de claustrofobie într-un spațiu deschis. Dacă în The Woman in Cabin 10 sau The Woman in Suite 11 autoarea explora vulnerabilitatea individuală în spații de lux, aici ea revine la temele sale recurente: loialitatea feminină și prețul devastator al adevărului. Este o evoluție spre un stil mai așezat, dar mult mai apăsător, unde fiecare minciună din trecut funcționează ca o ancoră care trage personajele spre fundul estuarului din Salten.

De ce să citești această carte

Recomandăm această carte celor care caută un roman polițist psihologic unde atmosfera contează la fel de mult ca rezolvarea misterului. Veți găsi o explorare fascinantă a modului în care prieteniile din adolescență ne pot defini sau distruge viața de adult. Este lectura ideală pentru un weekend ploios, oferind o experiență imersivă într-o lume unde nimeni nu este complet nevinovat.

Despre autor

Ruth Ware a crescut în Sussex, pe coasta de sud a Angliei, un peisaj care îi influențează adesea decorurile atmosferice din cărțile sale. După studii la Universitatea din Manchester, a locuit la Paris și ulterior în Londra, acumulând o experiență diversă ca librar și profesoară de engleză. Succesul internațional a venit odată cu thrillerele sale psihologice care i-au adus titlul de „Agatha Christie a zilelor noastre”. Lucrările sale, precum The Woman in Cabin 10, au devenit bestselleruri instant, fiind apreciate pentru capacitatea de a reinventa rețeta clasică a misterului într-un context modern și psihologic.

Descriere scurtă

Praise for Ruth Ware's instant New York Times, USA TODAY, and Los Angeles Times bestseller:

"So many questions....Until the very last page Needless to say, I could not put this book down " --Reese Witherspoon

"Once again the author of The Woman in Cabin 10 delivers mega-chills." --People

"Missing Big Little Lies? Dig into this psychological thriller about whether you can really trust your nearest and dearest." --Cosmopolitan

From the instant New York Times bestselling author of blockbuster thrillers In a Dark, Dark Wood and The Woman in Cabin 10 comes a chilling new novel of friendship, secrets, and the dangerous games teenaged girls play.

On a cool June morning, a woman is walking her dog in the idyllic coastal village of Salten, along a tidal estuary known as the Reach. Before she can stop him, the dog charges into the water to retrieve what first appears to be a wayward stick, but to her horror, turns out to be something much more sinister...

The next morning, three women in and around London--Fatima, Thea, and Isa--receive the text they had always hoped would never come, from the fourth in their formerly inseparable clique, Kate, that says only, "I need you."

The four girls were best friends at Salten, a second-rate boarding school set near the cliffs of the English Channel. Each different in their own way, the four became inseparable and were notorious for playing the Lying Game, telling lies at every turn to both fellow boarders and faculty. But their little game had consequences, and as the four converge in present-day Salten, they realize their shared past was not as safely buried as they had once hoped...

Atmospheric, twisty, and with just the right amount of chill to keep you wrong-footed, The Lying Game is told in Ruth Ware's signature suspenseful style, lending itself to becoming another unputdownable thriller from the Agatha Christie of our time.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:

'To read [The Lying Game] is to have your nerves slowly but inexorably shredded as, over and again, the tension builds and then evaporates until the final, unexpected denouement' Metro

'A gripping, unpredictable narrative that shifts like sand underfoot, and a plot that turns like the tide.' ERIN KELLY bestselling author of HE SAID SHE SAID

'Thank goodness for Ruth Ware...[The Lying Game is] gripping enough to be devoured in a single sitting' Independent

Four friends. One promise. But someone isn't telling the truth. The twisting new mystery from bestselling phenomenon Ruth Ware.


The text message arrives in the small hours of the night. It’s just three words: I need you.
Isa drops everything, takes her baby daughter and heads straight to Salten. She spent the most significant days of her life at boarding school on the marshes there, days which still cast their shadow over her.

At school Isa and her three best friends used to play the Lying Game. They competed to convince people of the most outrageous stories. Now, after seventeen years of secrets, something terrible has been found on the beach. Something which will force Isa to confront her past, together with the three women she hasn't seen for years, but has never forgotten.

Theirs is no cosy reunion: Salten isn't a safe place for them, not after what they did. It’s time for the women to get their story straight…
