Reviews

So clever and original . . . Pure suspense, from the first gripping page to the last shocking twist -- Erin Kelly
Ware tells a cracking tale and, as in her breakout novel In a Dark, Dark Wood, the house itself plays a hugely menacing part in proceedings. * Guardian *

An ingenious suspense narrative...Ware pulls out a stunner on the penultimate page that radically alters how we interpret everything thats come before. I daresay even Henry James would be impressed. * Washington Post *
A ghost story for the twenty-first century, a propulsive gothic thriller with characters youll really care about. With this book, Ruth Ware proves shes the true heir to Wilkie Collins. Creepy, engrossing, and oh-so-hard to put down -- JP Delaney
