The rules of the running club are the same as they have always been: keep your breath steady, keep your mind sharp, record your laps!.

Only now there's a new one: don't get killed.

The wealthy community of Esperance is picture-perfect. Big houses, stunning views, beautiful people. A brand new running track for the local club to jog around in the evenings. From the outside, it looks like paradise.

But the women of the town know the truth: you can hide
anything - from wrinkles to secrets from your past - if you have enough money.

You could even hide a murder.

THE RUNNING CLUB is the gripping, twisty page-turner from the author of THE TRIVIA NIGHT, full of secrets, lies and reveals you won't see coming.

Praise for this book

"The Running Club has it all: old and new secrets, glamour and greed, and extreme competitiveness which is darkly funny . . . until it turns criminal. I raced to the last page." - B M Carroll

"The Running Club was all about the fascinating characters for me. Their overlapping pasts; their places in the social hierarchy; their resentments, jealousies, secrets and betrayals. A running club riddled with rivalries, leading to a murder mystery that had me gripped til the end." - Helen Cooper

"I loved the elite lives, the big money and bigger secrets. Fast-paced and brilliantly taut." - L V Matthews

"Deliciously dark and completely enthralling, The Running Club is the perfect follow up to Ali's brilliant debut. Curl up on the couch and sink your teeth into this addictive and immensely satisfying read." - Nicola Moriarty

"A sharp, clever and compelling read about family, friends and the secrets and lies that bind them together . . . I couldn't stop turning the pages and read it in just two days! Ali's characterisation is always pitch-perfect leaving me both surprised and horrified by the dark side lurking beneath the glamourous and wealthy facades of her protagonists. The Running Club is no exception - nearly everyone in Esperance is hiding something, so I'd advise keeping your running spikes at home . . ." - Sarah Pearse

"Appropriately fast-paced, you don't have to be a runner to recognise Lowe's brilliantly drawn characters. This gripping thriller, where nobody is quite who they seem and everyone is a suspect, held me tight within its grip and I raced to the end." - Polly Phillips
