The It Girl, the highly anticipated mystery thriller by New York Times-bestselling author Ruth Ware, has received a starred review from Library Journal.

In the review, which you can read in full here, John Charles writes:

“Ware once again demonstrates her literary claim as the 21st century’s answer to Agatha Christie with this ingeniously crafted puzzler… Fans of Golden Age mysteries like Dorothy Sayers’s Gaudy Night will love the book’s Oxford setting, while readers of trendy dark academia suspense novels, in the manner of Alex Michaelides’s The Maidens, will feel right at home. Top-drawer entertainment from a modern master of mystery.”

The It Girl will be released in the US on 12th July and in the UK on 4th August. Pre-order your US copy here, and your UK copy here.
