“The next Girl on the Train…Ware hews to the new genre of twisty-mystery women’s books.” Tamar Cohen, author of Dying for Christmas and The Broken I raced through this, totally unable to put it down.Dark, smart and compulsive. Peter Straub, New York Times bestselling author Ruth Ware has written an exciting, and in fact amazing book that never stops circling around behind the reader and clapping its cold hands over her eyes.
I started IN A DARK, DARK WOOD on an airplane, kept dipping into it whenever I was left alone, devoured another big chunk on the flight home, and after that surrendered myself to it until the last revelation had bloomed, the final surprise had exploded, and the bittersweet conclusive turn had folded the final page. But as the first night falls, revelations unfold among friends old and new, an unnerving memory shatters Leonora’s reserve, and a haunting realization creeps in: the party is not alone in the woods. When reclusive writer Leonora is invited to the English countryside for a weekend away, she reluctantly agrees to make the trip. Sometimes the only thing to fear…is yourself. 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. *INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES, USA TODAY, AND LOS ANGELES TIMES BESTSELLERĪn NPR Best Book of the Year * An Entertainment Weekly Summer Books Pick * A Buzzfeed “31 Books to Get Excited About this Summer” Pick * A Publishers Weekly “Top Ten Mysteries and Thrillers” Pick * A Shelf Awareness Best Book of the Year * A BookReporter Summer Reading Pick * A New York Post “Best Novels to Read this Summer” Pick * A Shelf Awareness “Book Expo America 2015 Buzz Book” Pick *AUTHOR OF THE WOMAN IN CABIN 10 and THE LYING GAME
