INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER A New York Public Library Best Book of 2019 From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of In a Dark, Dark Wood, The Woman in Cabin 10, and The Lying Game comes Ruth Ware's fourth novel, "her best yet" (Library Journal, starred review). 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, this is an unputdownable thriller from the Agatha Christie of our time.

Den unge Hal Westaway modtager et brev om, at hun har arvet en gigantisk formue fra sin bedstemor. Der er bare ét problem. Hals bedstemor har været død i 20 år. Der er tydeligvis sket en fejl, men hvis nogen har brug for pengene, er det Hal. Hun er temmelig alene i verden, dybt forgældet og hutler sig igennem livet ved at læse tarotkort for folk. Klædt i sort møder hun op til begravelsen på familien Westaways gamle gods, hvor alle arvinger er samlet. Nu er der ingen vej tilbage. Men Hal er ikke den eneste, der bluffer og spiller skuespil. Familien Westaway gemmer på mange hemmeligheder – og de er parat til at slå ihjel for dem. Ruth Ware har skrevet en overbevisende thriller om mord og familiemysterier. ”En klassiker går aldrig af mode. Tænk bare på en dry martinis blærede enkelhed, Edisons glødepære og Meghan Markles brudekjole. Og tilføj så Ruth Wares nye thriller, MRS. WESTAWAY ER DØD, til listen. En perfekt orkestreret thriller.” Washington Post

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.

Tekstmeldingen kommer midt på natten. Det er bare tre små ord: Jeg trenger deg. Isa dropper alt, tar med seg sin lille datter og drar straks til Salten. Her gikk hun på kostskole sammen med sine tre beste venninner. Venninnene pleide å spille noe de kalte «lyvespillet». De konkurrerte om å fortelle usanne historier til skolekameratene, og hvis de ble trodd, fikk de poeng. Det var bare en regel: De skulle aldri lyve til hverandre. Nå, sytten år med hemmeligheter senere, har det blitt funnet noe grusomt på stranden. Noe som får alle fire til å dra tilbake og konfrontere sin fortid. Det blir ingen hyggelig gjenforening, det er på tide å fortelle den sanne historien. Ruth Ware har tidligere skrevet bestselgerne I en mørk, mørk skog og Kvinnen i lugar 10. De fire løgnerne er hennes tredje bok. «Jeg tror at kvinnelige lesere vil like boken enda bedre enn jeg gjorde – og jeg likte den jo meget godt.» Gunnar Gran, Stavanger Aftenblad

Jokaisella perheellä on salaisuutensa - joidenkin salaisuuksien vuoksi ollaan valmiita vaikka tappamaan. Huippusuositun Ruth Waren uusin tummasävyinen psykologinen trilleri tihkuu jännitystä. Harriet Westaway saa kirjeen, jossa kerrotaan hänen perineen valtavan omaisuuden isoäidiltään. Perintö ei voisi tulla paremmalla hetkellä, sillä kovaotteinen velkoja vainoaa Harrietia. On vain yksi ongelma: kirje on lähetetty väärälle ihmiselle. Harriet tekee valinnan, joka muuttaa hänen koko elämänsä. Hän aikoo huijata rahat itselleen esiintymällä todellisena perillisenä. Kun hän saapuu hautajaisiin, jokin vaikuttaa olevan pahasti pielessä, mutta on liian myöhäistä perääntyä. Hänen on jatkettava juontaan loppuun asti tai menetettävä kaikki - ehkä jopa henkensä.

Paradiset har en pris – og noen må betale den. Blendende vakre alper, den speilblanke Genfersjøen og et luksuriøst hotell. Alt glitrer – bortsett fra suiten der en livredd kvinne holdes fanget. Lo Blacklocks etterlengtede comeback som reisejournalist skal markeres med et luksuriøst opphold på et sveitsisk fjellchateau. Et oppdrag hun gleder seg stort til. Men idyllen forvandles til mareritt når fortiden presser på, og en millionærs elskerinne hvisker desperat om flukt. Da et lik blir funnet på rommet ved siden av, blir situasjonen enda mer dramatisk. Lo må navigere et nett av løgner, hemmeligheter og maktspill for å redde kvinnen – og seg selv. I dette paradiset hvor alle smiler, men ingen er trygge, blir hvert valg avgjørende. En raffinert kriminalroman med komplekse karakterer og et klassisk mysterium som holder leseren på kanten av stolen til siste side.
