THE TWISTY NEW THRILLER FROM THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE RUMOUR

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

This time it's different. She's gone too far now.
She really has.
Even though she was with her best friend when she died, Lizzie has no memory of the accident itself. And it was an accident. Wasn't it?
Alice's friends and relatives seem to suspect Lizzie had a part to play in Alice's death, but Lizzie knows that can't be true. She would never have hurt Alice.
Twelve years later, 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.
Twelve years is a long time to wait, when you're planning the perfect revenge . . .

Praise for The Dare

A real page turner. An engrossing and suspenseful tale with absorbing characters and plenty of shocking twists.

Susan Lewis, Sunday Times bestselling author of My Lies, Your Lies

Lesley Kara has done it again. The Dare is a gripping tale of secrets, betrayal and love's power to corrupt and redeem. Brilliantly plotted, The Dare keeps you guessing to the very end, and like Lizzie, the reader never knows who to trust. Destined for the bestseller charts and deservedly so.

Adam Hamdy, author of Pendulum

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

Intelligent, packed with intrigue, and charged with an unstoppable tension, The Dare is a gripping tale which shows yet again that Lesley Kara is the queen of psychological thrillers.
