Oh, I do enjoy Ruth Ware books! This was no different. It's always nice to have an author one can count on as a go-to and she's one of mine.

Ugh. Yet another who-done-it for whom "it" was, I didn't see coming. Shocking-not-shocking. In my defense, the author did a nice job leading readers around the bend and back again. Or, left it plausible for us to see how it could have been him or her or her or him or or or...

Totally not the point of any of her books (with high probability), but I thoroughly enjoy all the British terms and phrases!

I listened to this book and it was a slog. In the audio performance, the main character’s voice was too quavering to listen to for long stretches. The book provided enough information to determine the who and the why and while I like being able to do that I hated having to listen to the ending.

This is probably the 3rd book written by Ruth Ware and I just love her writing style. She just draws you into a story all the way till the end.
This was a story of murder and injustice and finding out the real story. I loved it.

I recommend if you love a good mystery and who done it. Flashbacks that bring you current and get you to where you need.
