Synopsis

THE MOST GRIPPING, TWIST-FILLED THRILLER YOU'LL READ THIS SUMMER. FROM THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE RUMOUR

'A real page turner. An engrossing and suspenseful tale with absorbing characters and plenty of shocking twists.' Susan Lewis, bestselling author of My Lies, Your Lies

'I read The Dare in two big gulps - it's pacey, has great characters and there's a flip worthy of Simone Biles.' Fiona Barton, bestselling author of The Widow

Come on. You'll be fine. It's only a game.

Lizzie has no memory of the accident in which her best friend Alice died as a teenager. And it was an accident. Wasn't it?

Alice's friends and relatives suspect Lizzie was to blame, but Lizzie knows that can't be true. She would never have hurt Alice.

Twelve years on, unpacking boxes in the new home she shares with her fiancé, Lizzie is finally beginning to feel like she can move on with her life.

But someone has other ideas . . .
