If you’re a mystery fan who hasn’t read In a Dark, Dark Wood, I highly recommend it-especially if you’re tired of police procedurals. I love it when I can look back at a plot and realize that a) everything makes perfect sense and b) my hypothesis was correct. Chekhov’s gun makes a starring appearance in this book.

Best of all, the crime that happens in this novel is deliciously foreshadowed. In a Dark, Dark Wood The Lying Game and The Death of Mrs Westaway were smash hits, and she has appeared on bestseller lists around the world, including the. Lift-up flaps on each spread reveal spooky creatures peeping through windows and out of cupboards, and the story reaches a climax on the last spread, as a great white ghost pops out In the dark, dark wood, There was a dark, dark house, HOO-HOO-HOO HAA-HAA-HAA A truly interactive book that children will return to time and again. I also loved the twists and turns Ware cooked up for Nora. She has a deft hand at the various regional British accents she never overacts and achieves a wonderful breathlessness as Ruth is chased here and there. In a Dark, Dark Wood, by Ruth Ware, is a psychological mystery thriller published in 2015. I listened to In a Dark, Dark Wood and Imogen Church was a wonderful narrator. All I’ll say is that I was completely hooked on this story from the first page.
I won’t say anything more because it would ruin the mystery. Flo raises a few more red flags over the course of the first evening as she insists that everything be perfect, but its bearable…at least until the second night. So far everything is normal, if uncomfortable. Nora packs up a bag and heads up from London to the north country, to a remote luxury house made of glass. (American readers, a hen night is the equivalent of a bachelorette party.) Nora only accepts because a mutual friend makes a pact Nina will go if Nora does.
It’s strange, then, that Clare’s BFF (she actually says this), Flo, emails Nora out of the blue to invite her to Clare’s hen night. Nora hasn’t seen her old friend Clare for ten years, not since they fell out of touch during college. Sure, she lives alone and is a bit lonely, but loneliness is a small price to pay to avoid awkward small talk and, oh yeah, a murder. Otherwise in the film adaptations, they are either shaped from the clouds or made of glittering green light. It begins with an invitation to a hen night that the protagonist should never have accepted. In the books and in the back cover of the Scholastic edition of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, the Dark Mark is depicted by Mary GrandPré as being a group of green glowing stars, like a monstrous constellation. In a Dark, Dark Wood, by Ruth Ware, turned out to be an excellent choice for quarantine reading.
