WoW! Ruth Ware writes in an Agatha Christie style that I thoroughly enjoy! Suspense, intrigue, a little off-the-wall belief suspension, interesting characters.
Hal (Harriet) is a young gal on her own since her mother's death, barely squeaking by in a dubious 'career' of reading tarot cards, even resorting to loan shark money. She receives a letter advising she is recipient of inheritance that she believes is incorrect but she's so desperate for funds, she decides she can fake it enough to get money to pay back debts. Only she finds a 'family' she didn't know she had and things get murky from there.
Quite enjoyable twists and turns to this story! And an ending I enjoyed much more than the ending of Woman in Cabin 10, or even In a Dark, Dark Wood. Have to say, Ms. Ware likes to write about gory deaths! No simple slip of poison for her....ha-ha.
Highly recommend this book for anyone wanting to stretch their imagination and wake up their brain cells.
