Book Description
Nearly three million copies of Ruth Ware’s books sold worldwide.
The highly anticipated fourth novel from Ruth Ware, The Globe and Mail and New York Times bestselling author of the In a Dark, Dark Wood, The Woman in Cabin 10, and The Lying Game.
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of In a Dark, Dark Wood, The Woman in Cabin 10, and The Lying Game comes Ruth Ware’s highly anticipated fourth novel.
On a day that begins like any other, Hal receives a mysterious letter bequeathing her a substantial inheritance. 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.
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 center of it.
Full of spellbinding menace and told in Ruth Ware’s signature suspenseful style, this is an unputdownable thriller from the Agatha Christie of our time.

My Review
The Death of Mrs. Westaway is Ruth Ware's 4th book and the 4th book of hers that I have read. Like the first 3, The Death of Mrs. Westaway is a compelling read.
What I like about Ruth Ware is that her books have all been very different. The Death of Mrs. Westaway is set in an isolated old country home near the sea in the south western area of England. The book had a gothic creepy feel to it at times. You could feel the cold and the dampness. And it was set during a funeral and the days following. We also saw back into the past with diary inserts from the past.
The Death of Mrs. Westaway had lots of twists. The reader is taken down a few wrong paths in the pursuit of the truth. I thought that all of the characters were very well written. Harriet or Hal Westaway is someone that you can root for. You want her to find the truth and to find her family. I enjoyed this book immensely but I don't want to give anything away.
I highly recommend The Death of Mrs. Westaway.
