The It Girl, the latest mystery thriller by New York Times-bestselling author Ruth Ware, has featured in the Washington Post’s review of ‘The best books from 2022 that we’ve read in 2023’.

In the review, Stephanie Merry writes:

“Ware’s clever plots have been compared to Agatha Christie’s, and The It Girl is another psychological thriller that will make even savvy readers uncertain about whodunit. Ten years after her magnetic college roommate was murdered, Hannah Jones is starting to question her recollections. Her testimony put a man behind bars, but when a reporter materializes with fresh evidence, Hannah embarks on her own investigation, putting herself — and her unborn baby — in peril. Braiding together narratives from the past and present, Ware meticulously engineers a story full of red herrings and reversals.”
