INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER 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.

What readers are saying about this book
Summarized by Pango AI
PangoBooks readers found the book to be an engaging mystery with a compelling storyline, revolving around a young girl torn between moral convictions and financial desperation. The atmosphere, akin to a Gothic horror, was appreciated, especially the creepy old mansion and its secrets. Some readers struggled with the slow pacing of the first half but felt it picked up significantly later on. Despite some difficulty in tracking characters and predicting certain plot twists, many enjoyed the overall execution, comparing it favorably to works by Agatha Christie and Daphne du Maurier. However, it was noted that the book might have benefited from a quicker resolution and better tying up of loose ends. Overall, while not the best of Ruth Ware's novels, it still provided an entertaining and spooky read.
