![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() If you’re into watching rich peoples’ messed up family drama, this one’s for you dear reader. A truly unique and compelling story with great characters and conflicts. It was like riding a roller coaster in slow motion. This is the one that made me feel like Christie was back in the game. Westaway, Ware’s newest and more highly rated book. That said I enjoyed the ride and decided to download The Death of Mrs. But hey not even Agatha Christie churned out a catalogue of perfect novels. I thought that one was great… ‘till the very end where there was a pretty substantial shark jump. As a big fan of Agatha Christie, my eyebrows pricked up when in the preview blurb for this book Ruth Ware was honored as “The Agatha Christie of our time.” ‘Oh yeah? … We shall see…’ I thought, and downloaded one of her other books, The Woman in Cabin 10. “ Après moi, le déluge.” -Attributed to Louis XV, later quoted by Mrs. Soon, Hal finds herself at the funeral of the deceased…where it dawns on her that there is something very, very wrong about this strange situation and the inheritance at the centre of it. She realizes very quickly that the letter was sent to the wrong person-but also that the cold-reading skills she’s honed as a tarot card reader might help her claim the money. On a day that begins like any other, Hal receives a mysterious letter bequeathing her a substantial inheritance. Published by Gallery/Scout Press on May 29, 2018 ![]()

These repulsive creatures multiply and skitter all over Japan like an invasive cockroach species, causing panic and delivering the death foreshadowed with the arrival of the odor. The figurative and literal demise of the romantic relationship between main characters Tadashi and Kaori begins with the arrival of an odor referred to as the “stench of death” a repugnant smell eclipsed only by the arrival of grotesque, multilegged fish. Add a mysterious, sickening, and inescapable stench to the mix, and a frayed relationship completely unravels.
