I think this may be your best yet, Ruth Ware! ‘The Turn of The Key’ ticks off all the boxes necessary to make this the perfect mystery: a protagonist who may well be going to prison for murder, an old house in Scotland that seems to be haunted but is also a marvel to be in, one that has a history ...
What should be a cozy and fun-filled weekend deep in the English countryside takes a sinister turn in Ruth Ware s suspenseful, compulsive, and darkly twisted psychological thriller. "Sometimes the only thing to fear is yourself." When reclusive writer Leonora is invited to the English countryside ...
So this is probably my favorite Ruth Ware book that I have read. The other ones were missing key elements or just were not developed enough in my opinion. In "The Turn of the Key" Ware updates "The Turn of the Screw" to contemporary times. Instead of a governess, we have a live in nanny. Instead of ...
I ended up reacting to this book much as I did to Ruth Ware's Woman in Cabin 10. I felt compelled to keep listening and listening until I got to the end, but once I was done, I wondered why I'd spent all that time. The "lying game" of the title doesn't ultimately seem that significant to the cent...
Lo Blacklock, a journalist who writes for a travel magazine, has just been given the assignment of a lifetime: a week on a luxury cruise with only a handful of cabins. The sky is clear, the waters calm, and the veneered, select guests jovial as the exclusive cruise ship, the Aurora, begins her voyag...
This wasn't bad, and it wasn't an exceptional thriller. Very paint by numbers after a while. I think it's because I figured out what went on and none of the twists were a surprise. I still liked this better than the "Lying Game" though. That was not good. "The Death of Mrs. Westaway" has Harriet (...
“Trepassen was too Gothic and gloomy to ever feel like a truly welcoming place.” I enjoy a good mystery with a creepy atmosphere and this one delivered. Hal's mother passed away leaving her completely alone in the world. She learned from her mother how to give tarot card readings in order to sc...
The fourth book by the extremely popular Ruth Ware is a twist on a classic mystery trope involving an inheritance/rags-to-riches fantasy. Harriet Westaway, the heroine of The Death of Mrs. Westaway, is isolated and adrift after losing her mother in a tragic accident. She never learned her father’s ...
I really, really liked this book. Mainly because it ticked so many boxes of the things I truly enjoy in a novel. The atmosphere of this book was wonderfully gothic, dark and atmospheric and the Trepassen house, situated in the dark, rainy and dreary Cornwall, felt like a character of its own. The ...
