Ruth Ware
Acerca de esta escucha
From the New York Times best-selling author of the "pulse-quickening" (Good Housekeeping UK) In a Dark, Dark Wood and The Woman in Cabin 10 comes Ruth Ware's highly anticipated third novel, featuring her signature "verve and energy" (Library Journal).
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, Isa discovers it's not a stick at all...but 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 memories, the relativity of truth, and the danger of obsessive friendships, The Lying Game is a gripping mystery with compelling characters and electric prose, resulting in a can't-stop-listening thriller.

Historia
On a day that begins like any other, Hal receives a mysterious letter bequeathing her a substantial inheritance. She realizes very quickly that the letter was sent to the wrong person - but also that the cold-reading skills she's honed as a tarot card reader might help her claim the money. Soon, Hal finds herself at the funeral of the deceased...where it dawns on her that there is something very, very wrong about this strange situation and the inheritance at the center of it. Full of spellbinding menace and told in Ruth Ware's signature suspenseful style, an addictive thriller.

Historia
Lo Blacklock, a journalist who writes for a travel magazine, has just been given the assignment of a lifetime: a week on a luxury cruise with only a handful of cabins. The sky is clear, the waters calm, and the veneered, select guests jovial as the exclusive cruise ship, the Aurora, begins her voyage in the picturesque North Sea. At first Lo's stay is nothing but pleasant: The cabins are plush, the dinner parties are sparkling, and the guests are elegant. But as the week wears on, frigid winds whip the deck, and gray skies fall.

Historia
Getting snowed in at a luxurious, rustic ski chalet high in the French Alps doesn’t sound like the worst problem in the world. Especially when there’s a breathtaking vista, a full-service chef and housekeeper, a cozy fire to keep you warm, and others to keep you company. Unless that company happens to be eight coworkers…each with something to gain, something to lose, and something to hide.

Historia
When she stumbles across the ad, she’s looking for something else completely. But it seems like too good an opportunity to miss - a live-in nannying post, with a staggeringly generous salary. And when Rowan Caine arrives at Heatherbrae House, she is smitten - by the luxurious “smart” home fitted out with all modern conveniences, by the beautiful Scottish Highlands, and by this picture-perfect family. What she doesn’t know is that she’s stepping into a nightmare - one that will end with a child dead and herself in prison awaiting trial for murder.

During the languid days of the Christmas break, a group of 30-something friends from Oxford meets to welcome in the New Year together, a tradition they began as students 10 years ago. For this vacation, they’ve chosen an idyllic and isolated estate in the Scottish Highlands - the perfect place to get away and unwind by themselves.

Melville Heights is one of the nicest neighborhoods in Bristol, England. It’s the sort of place where doctors and lawyers and old-money academics live. It’s not the sort of place where people get stabbed in the back 30 times with a kitchen knife in their own homes. Someone must have seen something. Newlywed Joey Mullen, for example, recently returned from four years of working in Ibiza. She and her husband, Alfie, are eager to find a place of their own in her hometown. But Joey finds herself distracted by the man next door, Tom Fitzwilliam.

Caught in the day it happened...the day that broke her from within. Our family fell apart that day, and we never could pick up the pieces....

On a day that begins like any other, Hal receives a mysterious letter bequeathing her a substantial inheritance. She realizes very quickly that the letter was sent to the wrong person - but also that the cold-reading skills she's honed as a tarot card reader might help her claim the money. Soon, Hal finds herself at the funeral of the deceased...where it dawns on her that there is something very, very wrong about this strange situation and the inheritance at the center of it. Full of spellbinding menace and told in Ruth Ware's signature suspenseful style, an addictive thriller.

Not Ruth Ware’s Best
Of all Ruth Ware’s books this was my least favorite. The whole thing kind of felt like a weird repurposed early draft of In A Dark Dark Wood, but not as engaging and with caricatures instead of characters. One thing Ware does well in all her books is create a central axis around which her protagonists’ life spins. In In A Dark Dark Wood, she was a runner, huge parts of the plot relied on that fact. In The Woman in Cabin 10 she was a victim of recent burglary. In the Lying Game, she is a mother. That is THE central part of the protagonists character and the plot leans heavily on it, but unlike her other novels where this is executed beautifully, the decision use Isa’s status as a mother as her central identifying characteristic is... boring and a little trite.

I love the writing style and love the narration!
Ruth Ware and Imogen Church should always work together. I have enjoyed all three of their audiobooks.
Ruth Ware does an amazing job of building up and developing the characters so you really get a feel for what they are thinking and feeling. I read some criticisms of the main character in this book for putting her daughter in intentional danger, but didn’t get that impression myself. It was an interesting story with some intense moments and big revelations.
Once again Imogen Church brings the story to life with her narration. I’m incredibly impressed with the various ways she changes tone and voice mechanics in order to differentiate between characters. You won’t be disappointed!

So disappointing after The Woman in Cabin 10 & In a Dark Wood
The overwrought & melodramatic response of the characters was puzzling considering the weakness of the original premise. When the plot is finally clarified, it turns out to be trite - at least in fiction terms. The entire book was exhaustingly fraught with overripe emotions, and the vast majority of words were obvious padding. It was probably an okay short story & should have stayed short.

Not My Favorite Ruth Ware Story
I usually love Ruth Ware novels, but I felt like this story was very predictable. Also, I became frustrated with the characters as I felt they were just a bit dense. The character of the baby was driving me crazy. She just screamed and ate and slept. I understand her role in the story, but ugh how many times do we have to hear about her screaming and eating and sleeping?

First off the narrator is amazing and brings the story to life, although at points I did speed her reading up because it was too slow. The story is just neutral for me ... the suspense never really happened, the twists were easy to figure out and the main character is very unlikeable IMO - the drop everything in my life including my partner of 10 years and put my baby in repeated situations of danger to stay loyal to friends I was only close to for six months 17 years ago is just a weak story baseline. Anyway, if you want a mindless read this will do it. If you are looking for scary/suspenseful/surprising twists in a novel this is not it unfortunately.

Overall pretty ok
A true Ruth Ware story. Similar story line, similar characters, narrator is still great, story is good. The only thing I could have done without was the 2000 times the F bomb was dropped. It was so frequent in the beginning, I almost turned the book in to get another. The ending could have gone a bit longer to tie up a few lingering questions. Overall, though, I would recommend this book. Not nearly as good as her other books, but pretty ok.

I'll round up to five.
I really enjoyed this book. I would have gone with 4.5 stars if that were an option only because of how frustrated I was with the main character. She treats her partner horribly! I kept shouting at her in my head to just tell him the truth! The story kept me guessing, it was well written and the ending was unexpected.

Incredibly well read but the book is wordy
The story laid out in this book is gripping though the book itself is wordy. I was most impressed with, and most enjoyed, the narrator who brought the story to life. Her ability to create distinction among the four key characters, along with other main players, by using slight differences in her voice made following the story and staying engaged much easier than other books I've listened to. Overall, if you're willing to put in the time on this one, you won't be disappointed.

Too long!!!!
This was about 3 hrs too long. Premise of book hooked me. However the narrator was so dramatic with her descriptions of her feelings it got boring. And taking a six month old baby along on dangerous unpredictable unknown escapades because of blind loyalty to friends was a little unbelievable. Also woman narrator doing doing a terrible job of men’s voices was distracting to storyline. Had high hopes for this book but ended up just enduring it. This is a book that probably needs to be read and not listened to.

Enjoyable read.
What did you love best about The Lying Game?
This book was not predictable. A few times during the book I thought I had it figured out and I was wrong.
Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
It was a good book, but not riveting.
What about Imogen Church’s performance did you like?
The reader did well with voices and keeping the narration interesting.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
No, but it kept me coming back. I found myself planning times of my day that I could listen for even a few minutes.
