"I raced through this, totally unable to put it down...Dark, smart and compulsive." - Nicci Cloke

"So gripping. So glad my hen days are behind me. It's going to be huge." - Tamar Cohen

"A tense, terrifying novel." - Clare Mackintosh

"I started IN A DARK, DARK WOOD on an airplane, kept dipping into it whenever I was left alone, devoured another big chunk on the flight home, and after that surrendered myself to it until the last revelation had bloomed, the final surprise had exploded, and the bittersweet conclusive turn had folded the final page. 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
