Ruth Ware‘s hotly anticipated new murder mystery thriller, The It Girl, has featured in Book Riot‘s list of “The 15 Best New Mystery Books of 2022”.

In her article, which you can read in full here, Emily Martin writes:

“Of course, this list would not be complete without the latest from best-selling mystery/thriller author Ruth Ware. The It Girl is a page-turning mystery novel about Hannah Jones and her friend April Coutts-Cliveden, who was the first person Hannah met at Oxford University.

April was one of those women that people are just naturally drawn to. She was vivacious, bright, and yes, sometimes cruel. But she was the ultimate It girl, and Hannah was lucky enough to be a part of her inner circle, which also included their friends Will, Hugh, Ryan, and Emily. But by the end of their second term, April was dead.

Ten years have passed since April’s death, and the man convicted of killing April has died in prison. However, just when Hannah thinks the past is behind her, a young journalist presents new evidence that suggests Neville may have been innocent. Wanting to know the truth about what happened to April, Hannah reconnects with old friends. Could one of them be capable of murder?”

The It Girl is released on 12th July 2022. You can pre-order your UK copy here now, and your US copy here.
