Soon, Hal finds herself at the funeral of the deceased…where it dawns on her that there is something very, very wrong about this strange situation and the inheritance at the center of it.įull of spellbinding menace and told in Ruth Ware’s signature suspenseful style, this is an unputdownable thriller from the Agatha Christie of our time.
She realizes very quickly that the letter was sent to the wrong person-but also that the cold-reading skills she’s honed as a tarot card reader might help her claim the money. On a day that begins like any other, Hal receives a mysterious letter bequeathing her a substantial inheritance. WESTAWAY is my favorite Ruth Ware book yet.
WESTAWAY is another outstanding novel of psychological suspense from an author who has quickly earned her title of "modern-day Agatha Christie." Dare I say it? THE DEATH OF MRS. WESTAWAY, I immediately started a countdown to it… and today I’m so thrilled to share a ( very) early review of this unputdownable, quasi-gothic story of family secrets. All of this is simply to say: when I first read that Ware had announced the title and plot of her 2018 release, THE DEATH OF MRS. To top it all off: Ware is one of those authors who continually reinvents herself with each new novel, giving readers stories that are fresh, inventive, and totally engaging-all while maintaining that trademark Ruth Ware pacing and tone that I love so much. Her books have been a staple of Crime by the Book ever since I started this blog-in fact, IN A DARK, DARK WOOD was actually one of my first-ever CBTB-specific purchases! I have a certain amount of nostalgia tied up in Ware’s writing her books have been there for me through this whole book blogging adventure, and always manage to strike the right tone for me as a reader. If you know me, you know I love Ruth Ware. The Verdict: unputdownable, gothic-inspired suspense - my favorite Ware book yet
