Book Description:
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 ânestâ 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 âwhat happened?â but âwhat have I done?â, 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.
My Review:
I did like this book by Ruth Ware much better than Woman in Cabin 10 and The Lying Game. It was fast-paced and more suspenseful with twists and turns that kept the pages turning. I thought it had great character development and an interesting plot. Started out a little slow in the beginning but by the middle of the book, I was riveted. It was a book that kept me guessing until the very last page. Can't wait to see the movie. I would highly suggest this book to those who love psychological thrillers with interesting characters.
