IF YOU'RE HOOKED ON THE TRAITORS, YOU WON'T WANT TO MISS A GAME OF LIES... THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING THRILLER AND NO.1 KINDLE BESTSELLER

They say the camera never lies.

But on this show, you can't trust anything you see.

Stranded in the Welsh mountains, seven reality show contestants have no idea what they've signed up for.

Each of these strangers has a secret. If another player can guess the truth, they won't just be eliminated - they'll be exposed live on air. The stakes are higher than they'd ever imagined, and they're trapped.

The disappearance of a contestant wasn't supposed to be part of the drama. Detective Ffion Morgan has to put aside what she's watched on screen, and find out who these people really are - knowing she can't trust any of them.

And when a murderer strikes, Ffion knows every one of her suspects has an alibi . . . and a secret worth killing for.

Reviews for A Game of Lies: a twisty, gripping thriller about the dark side of reality TV

PRAISE FOR A GAME OF LIES * - * Twisty and clever, with layered characters, A Game of Lies takes readers to some very dark places. Another deeply enjoyable mystery from a talented storyteller -- KARIN SLAUGHTER What great fun this book is - clever plot, engaging characters, and smart, sharp writing. An absolute delight. Perfect for fans of Richard Osman -- SHARI LAPENA I loved everything about this book - a brilliant, high-concept thriller with plot twists that made me gasp, and wonderful characters that had me laughing out loud and wincing in horror. I was rooting for DC Ffion Morgan and Dave the Dog so hard I couldn't turn the pages fast enough. It is of course, superbly plotted, paced and written, but it is the characters that set this above most crime series, and I can't wait to find out what happens next -- JO CALLAGHAN Fans of Clare Mackintosh have something great to look forward to. Deeply rooted in the glorious Welsh countryside, Ffion is the sparky bilingual cop you didn't know you needed and now she's investigating a death in a reality game show, but is it a game or a trap? Another hit! -- LIZ NUGENT PRAISE FOR CLARE MACKINTOSH * - * So many jaw-dropping twists and turns -- LUCY FOLEY She's a major talent -- LEE CHILD Arresting, ingenious * SUNDAY TIMES * No one writes a twist like Clare Mackintosh -- PAULA HAWKINS Superb. Devilishly clever, with echoes of Agatha Christie -- PATRICIA CORNWELL Mackintosh is just getting better and better with every book -- PETER JAMES I can't stop thinking about it -- LIANE MORIARTY Compulsive, thrilling and just so beautifully done -- LISA JEWELL Absolutely BRILLIANT -- MARIAN KEYES Clare Mackintosh is a genius -- FIONA CUMMINS
