The It Girl, the brilliant new mystery thriller by New York Times-bestselling author Ruth Ware, has shot straight to #2 in The Wall Street Journal‘s bestsellers chart for Hardcover Fiction for the week ending 16th July.

In a starred review, Publisher’s Weekly described The It Girl as an “exceptional psychological thriller” which “showcases Ware’s gifts to the fullest.”

Everyone wanted her life.
Someone wanted her dead.

It was Hannah who found April’s body ten years ago.
It was Hannah who didn’t question what she saw that day.
Did her testimony put an innocent man in prison?
 
She needs to know the truth.
 
Even if it means questioning her own friends.
Even if it means putting her own life at risk.

Because if the killer wasn’t a stranger, it’s someone she knows…
