Excitement continues to grow for New York Times-bestselling author Ruth Ware‘s upcoming mystery thriller The It Girl, which has once again featured in a number of ‘Best Summer Read’ round-ups.

Goodreads begins its round-up of ‘Readers’ Most Anticipated July Books‘ with the “inimitable murder mystery artisan Ruth Ware”. Cybil writes:

“Ruth Ware is back with another meticulously crafted mystery novel, this time concerning a forgotten murder at Oxford University. When new details emerge about the awful fate of her best friend ten years ago, Hannah Jones must confront some sinister ambiguities about her college memories. The man who was convicted may be innocent. And the real killer may be in her house.”

E! Online includes “queen of the thriller” Ruth Ware in its article ’14 Books to Read in July’, which can be found here. Tierney Bricker writes:

“Prepare for a final twist more delicious than an Auntie Anne’s pretzel.”

Teen Vogue‘s Kaitlyn McNab features The It Girl in her article ’15 Best New Thriller & Mystery Books for Summer 2022′, which you can read in full here:

“Author Ruth Ware has been called ‘the Agatha Christie of our generation,’ and her new book is evidence of how worthy she is of the title.”
