The It Girl, the highly anticipated murder mystery thriller by New York Times-bestselling author Ruth Ware, has been included in a round-up of July’s must-reads on NBC’s TODAY show.

In the segment, which you can watch in full here, bestselling author David Silva chooses The It Girl as his thriller of the month: “It is the perfect, perfect summer beach read by the reigning queen of British crime fiction.”

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…

The It Girl will be released in the US on 12th July and in the UK on 4th August. Pre-order your US copy here, and your UK copy here.
