Praise for Zero Days: 'A gruesome murder, a grieving widow and a race against the clock to uncover a dark conspiracy . . . Zero Days is a full-on, paranoid thrill ride with sky-high stakes and a thoroughly absorbing premise that’s never less than shockingly believable. This rare peek into the shadows of the dark web is visceral, human and terrifying. Five stars' Janice Hallett 'Zero Days is another super thriller! A showcase of versatility and depth in Ruth's craft. This one is a suspense rollercoaster' Steve Cavanagh ‘Ruth Ware has quickly established herself as a major new talent in the psychological thriller field, but now dares to move away from her traditional treading ground to infiltrate the action thriller/woman in peril niche . . . The fast-paced narrative evolves into a race against time . . . effortlessly carries the reader along. It worked for me’ Maxim Jakubowski, CrimeTime
Praise for The It Girl, the Richard & Judy pick: 'An absolute belter. Could not put it down! I thought I knew who the killer was. Then I was CERTAIN it was another person! Then DEFINITELY another! Great characterisation, glamorous setting, all round FABALISS!' Marian Keyes 'A cracking read – and that ending!' Shari Lapena 'Every Ruth Ware novel is a unique and unexpected gem and this one is no exception. A heady, tense, slowburn dream of a book, multi-layered and steeped in atmosphere and peril. I loved every page' Lisa Jewell 'Absolutely brilliant murder mystery - seamless, flawless, perfectly clued and utterly gripping' Sophie Hannah ‘Impeccably crafted and totally compulsive – you’ll be sad to reach the final page and realise you have to say goodbye’ JP Delaney ‘Ruth Ware’s richly-textured The It Girl is at once an engrossing murder mystery while also a perfectly crafted and haunting examination of lost youth and the compromises of adulthood, as a woman unpicks the past secrets of her university friends to finally lay to rest her murdered best friend, the dazzling April. Reminiscent of The Secret History, Ware has surpassed herself with this gripping, absorbing whodunnit. I loved it! All hail the Queen' Sarah Pinborough 'Ruth is the master of the fiendishly twisty, yet completely believable, plot' Elly Griffiths
