Summary
April Coutts-Cliveden was the first person Hannah Jones met at Oxford。
Vivacious， bright， occasionally vicious， and the ultimate It girl， she quickly pulled Hannah into her dazzling orbit。 Together， they developed a group of devoted and inseparable friends—Will， Hugh， Ryan， and Emily—during their first term。 By the end of the second， April was dead。
Now， a decade later， Hannah and Will are expecting their first child， and the man convicted of killing April， former Oxford porter John Neville， has died in prison。 Relieved to have finally put the past behind her， Hannah’s world is rocked when a young journalist comes knocking and presents new evidence that Neville may have been innocent。 As Hannah reconnects with old friends and delves deeper into the mystery of April’s death， she realizes that the friends she thought she knew all have something to hide… including a murder。
The #1 New York Times bestselling author of One by One returns with an unputdownable mystery following a woman on the search for answers a decade after her friend’s murder。

2。5 rounded up。 Ug Ruth Ware used to write such good books but the last few years have been so blah。 This one was no better。 Again， the same girl reads the audio so it just sounds like all the previous books。 The main character is always female， weak， and introverted/odd。 This is not a thriller by any means。 It took 7 hours to get to the good part （the college roommate's murder） and probably another 8 hours to get into the nitty gritty details。 （the audio was 17 LONG hours） The ending was a "Twi 2。5 rounded up。 Ug Ruth Ware used to write such good books but the last few years have been so blah。 This one was no better。 Again， the same girl reads the audio so it just sounds like all the previous books。 The main character is always female， weak， and introverted/odd。 This is not a thriller by any means。 It took 7 hours to get to the good part （the college roommate's murder） and probably another 8 hours to get into the nitty gritty details。 （the audio was 17 LONG hours） The ending was a "Twist" but really far fetched。 It felt like the author was reaching to making it twisty/thrilling。 。。。more

This book felt like it would never end。 And it was petty boring。

Somewhat entertaining read but the twist felt contrived and overall there was a "been there， done that" feel to the book。 Glad I read it， but probably wouldn't read again。 3/5 Somewhat entertaining read but the twist felt contrived and overall there was a "been there， done that" feel to the book。 Glad I read it， but probably wouldn't read again。 3/5 。。。more

SO very disappointing。 Ruth Ware is one of those authors I keep reading but keeps leaving me disappointed。 I think her first few books were good enough， but each consecutive one keeps doubling down on the problems in the last。 This particular one is paced unbelievably slowly。 Nothing happens， the main character has no personality except thinking about her baby bump and having anxiety about her college friend's murder。 Why are her protagonists always pregnant or toting a newborn？ She uses the bab SO very disappointing。 Ruth Ware is one of those authors I keep reading but keeps leaving me disappointed。 I think her first few books were good enough， but each consecutive one keeps doubling down on the problems in the last。 This particular one is paced unbelievably slowly。 Nothing happens， the main character has no personality except thinking about her baby bump and having anxiety about her college friend's murder。 Why are her protagonists always pregnant or toting a newborn？ She uses the baby and new motherhood as a crutch to avoid having to give them a personality。 The twist was ultimately disappointing， not narratively satisfying。 Pretty much any other motive or killer would've been more interesting。 I was genuinely hoping （view spoiler）[ that Will， emily， or the tutor would've been the killer because at least those would have told a worthwhile story。 Also - why is everyone （Hannah especially） so full of sympathy for John Neville。 He was a genuine creep and predator and I can't stand how much of the ending was devoted to Hannah's guilt， and newspaper coverage about his 'innocence'。 （hide spoiler）]If you want to read a good novel with the same general plot and concept， read the much better In My Dreams I Hold A Knife by Ashley Winstead。 It's the same idea but actually satisfying。 。。。more

I actually wanted to give this 3。5 stars。 I did love reading this book。 The only reason I could not give it a higher rating was throughout the entire book， it’s very descriptive and well paced。 It’s when you get to the last chapter that it got rushed。 It was like the author was running out of time。 I love this author and will read her books， however the endings always leave me disappointed。

FOUR OUT OF FIVE STARS！！！！ 8。71 CAWPILEThis was the first Ruth Ware book I have ever read and I am KICKING myself that I haven't picked up their work earlier。 The plot was so beautifully woven together。。it was magically。 I am also very partial to Hannah Jones because we share the best name in the world haha！I do find mysteries/thrillers to be a little on the laggy side。 I just want to know who done it and why。 I am not really one to try to pick apart the mystery while reading it but I couldn't h FOUR OUT OF FIVE STARS！！！！ 8。71 CAWPILEThis was the first Ruth Ware book I have ever read and I am KICKING myself that I haven't picked up their work earlier。 The plot was so beautifully woven together。。it was magically。 I am also very partial to Hannah Jones because we share the best name in the world haha！I do find mysteries/thrillers to be a little on the laggy side。 I just want to know who done it and why。 I am not really one to try to pick apart the mystery while reading it but I couldn't help myself with this one。 Let me tell ya。。。I was WAY off the mark。 The last 10% of this book had my gasping， almost in tears and fist pumping I was so happy。 This was fantastic plus it had a school setting！ Bonus！ 。。。more

3。25 stars - the audiobook was very well performed。 The book started out strong， but it dragged on too long。 And Hannah was just so very stupid and irritating。

Meh… very mediocre book。 Could be shorter too… the plot was very predictable。 I gave it 3/5。 Reminds me of “in my dreams I hold a knife”

This book was 100 pages longer than it needed to be in my opinion; having said that I'm glad that it was at least better than the last book I read by the same author。I felt that it was quite predictable and for me it was rather obvious who the culprit was， although I did enjoy all the red herrings along the way anyway。 It was very slow to start until around halfway through and that's why I felt it definitely could have been made that bit shorter and still been enjoyable。 Also， the only character This book was 100 pages longer than it needed to be in my opinion; having said that I'm glad that it was at least better than the last book I read by the same author。I felt that it was quite predictable and for me it was rather obvious who the culprit was， although I did enjoy all the red herrings along the way anyway。 It was very slow to start until around halfway through and that's why I felt it definitely could have been made that bit shorter and still been enjoyable。 Also， the only character I liked was the villain of the piece and felt there was a total character shift that it felt bizarre。I still have more on the author's backlist to get to but it will be hard pushed to come anywhere near as good as The Turn of the Key。 。。。more

I really struggled with this book because of the heroine and the overly descriptive writing。 The heroine is really naive and will believe anything anyone says and her mind will go （view spoiler）[She went from "My husband might be a killer" to "My husband is a killer" in 2 sentences。（hide spoiler）]Regardless， I liked the ending and the way the story wrapped up。 The general consensus is that this is one of Ruth Ware's least favorite book among the masses So I will definitely try another of hers s I really struggled with this book because of the heroine and the overly descriptive writing。 The heroine is really naive and will believe anything anyone says and her mind will go （view spoiler）[She went from "My husband might be a killer" to "My husband is a killer" in 2 sentences。（hide spoiler）]Regardless， I liked the ending and the way the story wrapped up。 The general consensus is that this is one of Ruth Ware's least favorite book among the masses So I will definitely try another of hers soon。["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]> 。。。more

Love Ruth Ware but this was a bit of a slow start for me。 Overall ended well though。 Last 200 pages went much faster than the first。

so slow moving This book could have been done in 200 pages。 I liked the concept， but man was it slow moving。 I eventually gave up around page 300 and looked for spoilers on the internet。

Fine。 Better than the other two books of hers I've read。 Still broadly predictable and formulaic at the end。 Good if you like that sort of thing。 Fine。 Better than the other two books of hers I've read。 Still broadly predictable and formulaic at the end。 Good if you like that sort of thing。 。。。more

Interesting idea but weirdly executed。 Red herrings， misdirection—it got old。 The editor should’ve stepped in and deleted about a third of the book。
