Twelve years on, unpacking boxes in the new home she shares with her fiance, Lizzie is finally beginning to feel like she can move on with her life.
But someone has other ideas . . .

Reviews / Votes
A plot packed with surprises, and it has an ending that won't disappoint. * Daily Mail * Kara uses the old box of tricks so effectively, misdirecting your attention with expert cunning and then biffing you on the back of the head with her twists. * Daily Mirror * This psychological thriller gets under your skin, meaning some late nights till you finish it. * Heat * 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 * 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. * Lauren North, author of The Perfect Betrayal * Lesley Kara keeps you guessing until the final page * Paula Hawkins * 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 * You'll race through it. * Best Magazine * The deeply submerged memories of Kara's heroine Lizzie (whose best friend was killed in an accident) resurface to threatening effect. Kara's cogent prose and grasp of mounting tension pay dividends. * Financial Times * This twisty psychological thriller will grip you within minutes * NOW! * An easy-to-read thriller about the dark pull of the past. * Real People Magazine *More details
