The It Girl, the “properly addictive” (Fabulous) New York Times-bestselling mystery thriller by Ruth Ware, has been named by Sunday Times bestselling author Louise Candlish as one of her favourite recent reads.

Candlish told the Daily Express:

“I tore through The It Girl (S&S) by Ruth Ware, the story of a Noughties murder at Oxford University investigated years later by the victim’s roommate.”

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…
