MEDIA REVIEWS
'So clever and original...Pure suspense,from the first gripping page to the last shocking twist'- Erin Kelly
'Ware tells a cracking tale and,as in her breakout novel In a Dark,Dark Wood,the house itself plays a hugely menacing part in proceedings.'- The Guardian
'An ingenious suspense narrative...Ware pulls out a stunner on the penultimate page that radically alters how we interpret everything that's come before. I daresay even Henry James would be impressed.'- The Washington Post
'A ghost story for the twenty-first century,a propulsive gothic thriller with characters you'll really care about. With this book,Ruth Ware proves she's the true heir to Wilkie Collins. Creepy,engrossing,and oh-so-hard to put down'- JP Delaney
