Book Overview
A New York Public Library Best Book of 2019 From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of In a Dark, Dark Wood, The Woman in Cabin 10, and The Lying Game comes Ruth Ware's fourth novel, "her best yet" (Library Journal, starred review). On a day that begins like any other, Hal receives a mysterious letter bequeathing her a substantial inheritance. She realizes very quickly that the letter was sent to the wrong person--but also that the cold-reading skills she's honed as a tarot card reader might help her claim the money. Soon, Hal finds herself at the funeral of the deceased...where it dawns on her that there is something very, very wrong about this strange situation and the inheritance at the center of it. Full of spellbinding menace and told in Ruth Ware's signature suspenseful style, this is an unputdownable thriller from the Agatha Christie of our time.

Rated 2 starsSlow start.. Good ending..
I really enjoyed "The Woman in Cabin 10", and "In a Dark, Dark Wood" so I thought I would also like this one... It was pretty boring for about the first 200 pages. This could have been slimmed down by 100 pages or so and the reader wouldn't miss anything. All the action/twists/exciting plot that makes the book worth reading is in the last 80 pages or so. Ruth Ware is a great writer but the first two thirds of this book was...

Slow start, but I think that the build up is necessary. I also did not expect the ending!
