What should be a cozy and fun-filled weekend deep in the
English countryside takes a sinister turn in Ruth Ware’s
suspenseful, compulsive, and darkly twisted psychological
thriller.
Leonora, known to some as Lee and others as Nora, is a
reclusive crime writer, unwilling to leave her “nest” of an
apartment unless it is absolutely necessary. When a friend
she hasn’t seen or spoken to in years unexpectedly invites
Nora (Lee?) to a weekend away in an eerie glass house deep
in the English countryside, she reluctantly agrees to make
the trip. Forty-eight hours later, she wakes up in a
hospital bed injured but alive, with the knowledge that
someone is dead. Wondering not “what happened?” but “what
have I done?”, Nora (Lee?) tries to piece together the
events of the past weekend. Working to uncover secrets,
reveal motives, and find answers, Nora (Lee?) must revisit
parts of herself that she would much rather leave buried
where they belong: in the past.
In the tradition of Paula Hawkins's instant New York Times
bestseller The Girl On the Train and S. J. Watson’s riveting
national sensation Before I Go To Sleep, this gripping
literary debut from UK novelist Ruth Ware will leave you on
the edge of your seat through the very last page.
