'Every Ruth Ware novel is a unique and unexpected gem and this one is no exception. A heady, tense, slowburn dream of a book, multi-layered and steeped in atmosphere and peril. I loved every page'
Lisa Jewell
‘Hits the ground running and doesn’t let up till the last chapter. Ruth Ware’s best book yet’
Erin Kelly
'Absolutely brilliant murder mystery - seamless, flawless, perfectly clued and utterly gripping'
Sophie Hannah
‘Impeccably crafted and totally compulsive – you’ll be sad to reach the final page and realise you have to say goodbye’
JP Delaney
‘Ruth Ware’s richly-textured The It Girl is at once an engrossing murder mystery while also a perfectly crafted and haunting examination of lost youth and the compromises of adulthood, as a woman unpicks the past secrets of her university friends to finally lay to rest her murdered best friend, the dazzling April. Reminiscent of The Secret History, Ware has surpassed herself with this gripping, absorbing whodunnit. I loved it! All hail the Queen'
Sarah Pinborough
'Ruth is the master of the fiendishly twisty, yet completely believable, plot'
Elly Griffiths
‘The best thriller you’ll read this year. From its explosive opening to that dizzying first twist, Zero Days is a fast-paced – but also very touching – ride'
William Shaw
