In a Dark, Dark Wood

Reviews

A slickly plotted, whip smart thriller - genuinely chilling and totally compulsive [A] chilling psychological thriller...a tense, claustrophobic marriage of secrets, tequila shots and shotguns If the premise might be the sort that Agatha Christie would have toyed with had she been a 21st-century graduate, Ware’s analysis of the power-games some women revel in – and the toxicity in the undertow of some female friendships – is more reminiscent of Sophie Hannah, Christobel Kent, or even Gillian Flynn and Harriet Lane You won’t be able to put down this creepy page-turner Thrilling, gripping & well-written Toxic friendships, an isolated house, a dark snowy wood... Everyone's worst nightmare, and the perfect ingredients for this tense, terrifying novel This is one of the hottest crime debuts around, one that does for friendship what Gone Girl did for marriage So gripping. So glad my hen do days are behind me. It’s going to be huge 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 raced through this, totally unable to put it down. It’s gripping from start to finish: slick plotting, sharp twists and a pitch-perfect understanding of the many unique ways in which female friends hurt one another. Dark, smart and compulsive Expand reviews
