Well that's 2 for 2 for me and Ruth Ware! She's quickly working her way up my list of favorite authors. I'm not much for being scared, but her ability to weave suspense and mystery is enough to get me over that. And it's not screaming scary, just very tense and anxious as I wrack my brain trying to figure out what the hell is happening. Everytime I thought I had figured out all the players, something changed and I had to start over. A great mystery with fascinating characters and a unique story. The narration added to it I think, asthe narrator did a good job really pulling out the characters. It's fun to read a book that's not part of a series, and yet, I wish there were more!
