"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. Leonora, known to some as Lee and others as Nora, is a reclusive crime writer, unwilling to leave her "nest" of an apartment unless it is absolutely necessary. When a friend she hasn't seen or spoken to in years unexpectedly invites Nora (Lee?) to a weekend away in an eerie glass house deep in the English countryside, she reluctantly agrees to make the trip. Forty-eight hours later, she wakes up in a hospital bed injured but alive, with the knowledge that someone is dead. Wondering not "what happened?" but "what have I done?", Nora (Lee?) tries to piece together the events of the past weekend. Working to uncover secrets, reveal motives, and find answers, Nora (Lee?) must revisit parts of herself that she would much rather leave buried where they belong: in the past. In the tradition of Paula Hawkins's instant New York Times bestseller The Girl On the Train and S. J. Watson's riveting national sensation Before I Go To Sleep, this gripping literary debut from UK novelist Ruth Ware will leave you on the edge of your seat through the very last page"-- Provided by publisher.

Great submitted by TLW1998 on July 28, 2019, 7:33pm I like Ruth Ware books. They have the right amount of suspense for me. This one is about a weekend in the woods with friends, but something goes wrong, and Nora ends up in the hospital and someone is dead. The story unfolds as Nora pieces it all back together. Who did it?

Okay submitted by teri on August 13, 2019, 12:40pm I've read two Ruth Ware books: The Woman in Cabin 13, and this one, which I liked better. Even so, I've picked up these books only when I want something quick and distracting. For really good crime writing, my first choice is always Tana French.

A good suspenseful book submitted by whitta151 on August 3, 2020, 3:37pm This is a good mystery/suspenseful book about a hen party going wrong

Classic Ruth Ware submitted by bjkoch on July 6, 2022, 2:08pm Same suspense as her usual books.
