With her convincing range of accents, modulations, and control, Church adroitly voices multiple viewpoints, proving to be more effective than many full-cast recordings. Like her previous bestsellers, <em>The Woman in Cabin 10 <\/em>and <em>In a Dark, Dark Wood<\/em>, Ware\u2019s newest features an ensemble, this time four friends whose boarding school bonds have frayed since becoming adults with separate lives.<\/p>\n<p>Isa is a new mother on leave from civil service lawyer-ing. When she receives an abrupt \u201cI need you\u201d text from Kate, an artist who never left the coastal village where the girls met, Isa immediately heads to remote Salten. Isa knows Fatima, a doctor whose headscarf declares her rededication to her Muslim faith, and Thea, a casino worker who\u2019s perhaps as troubled now as she was then, will also be there.<\/p>\n<p>Reunited at the Mill house, once the quartet\u2019s home-away-from-home, Kate divulges that a corpse was discovered in the nearby marshes. The \u201clying game,\u201d which kept the girls\u2019 secrets buried for almost 20 years, is finally up. These four frightened, threatened women must figure out which confessions might save the rest of their lives. For Ware fans, this is <em>Game <\/em>on.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Review<\/strong>: modified from <a href=\"http:\/\/bookverdict.com\/details.xqy?uri=Product2017-12-01-6228735.xml\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;Audio,&#8221; <em>Library Journal<\/em>, December 1, 2017<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Readers<\/strong>: Adult<\/p>\n<p><strong>Published<\/strong>: 2017<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Imogen Church is three-for-three as Ruth Ware\u2019s anointed narrator.
