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.

Sometimes the only thing to fear…is yourself.

When reclusive writer Leonora is invited to the English countryside for a weekend away, she reluctantly agrees to make the trip. But as the first night falls, revelations unfold among friends old and new, an unnerving memory shatters Leonora’s reserve, and a haunting realization creeps in: the party is not alone in the woods.
Review
I started IN A DARK, DARK WOOD on an airplane, kept dipping into it whenever I was left alone, devoured another big chunk on the flight home, and after that surrendered myself to it until the last revelation had bloomed, the final surprise had exploded, and the bittersweet conclusive turn had folded the final page. Ruth Ware has written an exciting, and in fact amazing book that never stops circling around behind the reader and clapping its cold hands over her eyes. — Peter Straub, New York Times bestselling author

I raced through this, totally unable to put it down…Dark, smart and compulsive. — Nicci Cloke, author of Lay Me Down

“So gripping. So glad my hen days are behind me. It’s going to be huge.” — Tamar Cohen, author of Dying for Christmas and The Broken

Vulture

“Ware slowly unspools the mystery, setting a truly spooky scene … with a constant undercurrent of danger. Read it on adark and stormy night—with all the lights on.” ―

“
[In a Dark, Dark Wood] will appeal to fans of Gillian Flynn’s
Gone Girl and Paula Hawkins’s
The Girl on the Train.” ―
Publisher’s Weekly

“If the premise might be the sort that Agatha Christie would have toyed with had she been a 21st-century graduate, Ware’s analysis of the power-games some women revel in – and the toxicity in the undertow of some female friendships – is more reminiscent of Sophie Hannah, Christobel Kent, or even Gillian Flynn and Harriet Lane.” — Patricia Nicol ―
Independent

“
In a Dark, Dark Wood packs a noirish punch that would make the Queen of Crime herself proud.” ―
Bustle

“[
In a Dark, Dark Wood] mixes tropes popularized by such suspense novels as S.J. Watson’s
Before I Go to Sleep and Gillian Flynn’s
Gone Girl… with Agatha Christie touches. Ware writes with verve and energy, building up the suspense and keeping the pages flying.” ―
Library Journal

“Ware’s debut novel sets the stage for her to become a household name… Engaging, suspenseful and mysterious.” ―
RT Book Reviews

“Just try to guess how sinister this plot can get (hint: VERY).” ―
Marie Claire
