The It Girl, Ruth Ware‘s New York Times-bestselling thriller which was shortlisted for the 2023 Theakston Old Peculier Crime Novel of the Year, is available on a Kindle Monthly Deal for the whole month of October. Grab it here for only 99p.

A Richard and Judy Summer Book Club Collection pick, The It Girl is an “utterly addictive” (Lucy Foley) and “roller-coaster read” (Bella) which follows a woman on the search for answers a decade after her friend’s murder.

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.

The It Girl is also out now in paperback. Grab your US copy here and your UK copy here, or, better, via your local bookshop or Bookshop.org.
