Ruth Ware is often referred to as a modern Agatha Christie, and that is not to be taken lightly。 Her latest novel is full of twists, turns, and red herrings that will keep you guessing until the very end。 Just when you think you have figured what happened to glamorous April Clarke-Cliveden, Ware proves you wrong。 Ware's skill at characterization immediately makes the reader connect to the characters, exploring the plot through the eyes of sweet-hearted Hannah, empathizing with her grief over the loss of her best friend and agonizing over the possibility of helping to convict the wrong person in her friend's murder。 Ware's writing has never been better and, just as you think her last novel is your favorite, she surpasses it。 The It Girl is sure to be the it book of the summer。 。。。more

I have to agree with the editor on this - Ruth Ware's best book yet! I stayed up way too late to finish reading, but it was worth it。Thank you to Edelweiss for the digital review copy。 I have to agree with the editor on this - Ruth Ware's best book yet!
