The mass-market edition of the “deliciously dark and utterly addictive” (Lucy Foley) The It Girl, by acclaimed thriller writer Ruth Ware has entered the New York Times bestseller list, coming in at #14. Browse the full list here.

Described by Marian Keyes as “AN ABSOLUTE BELTER!!!” and J. P. Delaney as “impeccably crafted and totally compulsive”, The It Girl is out now.

April Clarke-Cliveden was the first person Hannah Jones met at Oxford.

Vivacious, bright, occasionally vicious, and the ultimate It girl, she quickly pulled Hannah into her dazzling orbit. Together, they developed a group of devoted and inseparable friends—Will, Hugh, Ryan, and Emily—during their first term. By the end of the second, April was dead.

Now, a decade later, Hannah and Will are expecting their first child, and the man convicted of killing April, former Oxford porter John Neville, has died in prison. Relieved to have finally put the past behind her, Hannah’s world is rocked when a young journalist comes knocking and presents new evidence that Neville may have been innocent. As Hannah reconnects with old friends and delves deeper into the mystery of April’s death, she realises that the friends she thought she knew all have something to hide… including a murder.
