The Death of Mrs. Westaway

FINALLY a psychological thriller author actually worth celebrating. As a disclaimer: I've read a lot of these. Like A LOT. Which made me think that I was going to be able to guess every little element of this storyline. I was wrong. The plot, typical woman gets letter in the mail indicating she could be heir to a good amount of money... you know how it goes. But Ruth Ware actually has a gift for intriguing writing. Her style is so brilliant and the details so precisely placed that it made even the most typical of stories really engaging and thrilling. I must also note that I listened to this via audiobook, narrated my Imogen Church—fantastic. Her skill in reading really brought life into the story through the view of the main character (Hal). Really recommend Ruth Ware. I also liked ‘In a Dark Dark Wood', l'll have to go back to that one for an exciting reread soon.
