"I raced through this, totally unable to put it down. It’s gripping from start to finish: slick plotting, sharp twists and a pitch-perfect understanding of the many unique ways in which female friends hurt one another. Dark, smart and compulsive" (Nicci Cloke, author of Lay Me Down)
"Toxic friendships, an isolated house, a dark snowy wood... Everyone’s worst nightmare, and the perfect ingredients for this tense, terrifying novel" (Clare Mackintosh, author of I Let You Go)
"So gripping. So glad my hen do days are behind me. It’s going to be huge" (Tamar Cohen, author of Dying for Christmas and The Broken)
"Ruth Ware has written an exciting, and in fact amazing book that never stops circling around behind the reader and clapping its cold hands over her eyes" (Peter Straub, NYT bestselling author of Ghost Story and A Dark Matter)

‘Excellent characterisation give the ending a mesmerising, slow-motion car crash appeal’ – Guardian
‘Ware’s analysis of the power-games some women revel in – and the toxicity in the undertow of some female friendships – is more reminiscent of Sophie Hannah, Christobel Kent, or even Gillian Flynn and Harriet Lane’ – Independent
‘Ware’s debut, a psychological thriller that was a major buzz book at BEA, will appeal to fans of Gillian Flynn’s Gone Girl and Paula Hawkins’s The Girl on the Train’ – Publishers Weekly
