I received a free digital copy of this book from the publishers/author via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Kate, Thea, Isa and Fatima were all 15 years old when they were expelled from school. The four were famous for something called The Lying Game, and their friendship almost ended when Kate’s father died and they did something drastic to keep the truth from being revealed. Now over 15 years later, his body has been discovered and Kate has called her friends to her side.

I liked this book a lot better than The Woman in Cabin 10, so it was a pleasant read and I was so hooked nearing the end. I really enjoying the writing and the pacing and we definitely got just enough but enough the whole way through which I loved because it left me guessing all the time. I also felt this story was a lot more realistic and believable, as thrillers go, compared to The Woman in Cabin 10.

I thought the town and school in Salten was written really well, and it came to life on the pages for me. I would have liked to have seen more of Mary Wren in the flashbacks seeing as she was one of the more villainous characters in the present day.
