Really scared! When I read this page-turning book about a bachelorette party gone wrong, I almost bit all my fingernails off!”“Who pulls a gun at a bachelorette party? The answers are unveiled with Gillian Flynn–style trickery.”“Reese Witherspoon’s making it into a movie, so read the book now. Before bed at your own risk.”“Just try to guess how sinister this plot can get (hint: VERY).”“[It] packs a noirish punch that would make the Queen of Crime herself proud.”“Ware hews [close] to the new genre of twisty-mystery women’s books.”“Ruth Ware has written an exciting and amazing book that never stops circling the reader and clapping its cold hands over her eyes.”“The pulse-quickening plot will keep you up until the small hours.”“Read it on a dark and stormy night—with all the lights on.”“An enchantingly unsettling thriller with mysterious characters and a classically spooky setting.”“[It] will appeal to fans of Gillian Flynn’s Gone Girl and Paula Hawkins’s The Girl on the Train.”“You’ll find it almost impossible to put this twisting, electrifying debut down . . . [The] foggy atmosphere and chilling revelations will leave you breathless.”“A sinister mood lurks in [In a Dark, Dark Wood].”“Ware writes with verve and energy, building up the suspense and keeping the pages flying.”“Ware’s debut novel sets the stage for her to become a household name . . . Engaging, suspenseful and mysterious.”“Haunting.”“WARNING: This book is hot. Do not pick it up late at night or if you are in a dark, dark wood . . . Ruth Ware has a gift. This British author’s first foray into fiction is a hit . . . it delivers a punch and keeps you guessing—an ideal August psychodrama that reminds us why mysteries remain such fun—except at night.”“I raced through this, totally unable to put it down . . . Dark, smart, and compulsive.”“So gripping. So glad my hen days are behind me. It’s going to be huge.”“Likely to be the next Gone Girl.”“If the premise might be the sort that Agatha Christie would have toyed with had she been a twenty-first-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.”“The best thing about In A Dark, Dark Wood is the eerie atmosphere it creates for this ill-fated weekend, never overwrought, just ominous enough, the glass house where the guests are trapped ‘dark and silent, blending into the trees, almost invisible.’”
