Tips and Resources From Your Ruth Ware Book Club Friends:

From a cruise ship murder-mystery to a woman accused of a crime in a smart house in the Scottish Highlands, to a bachelorette party gone disastrously wrong, Ruth Ware expertly “turns the screws” on readers with suspense and twists that enthral (and scare) them. Each of Ware’s novels takes a conventional mystery setting and turns it on its head. Her mastery of the genre has critics likening her to Agatha Christie. Which of her books have you enjoyed the most? Is it the chilly (literally) locked room mystery of a corporate retreat gone wrong in One by One? Or perhaps the “cat and mouse” thriller Zero Days, with a security expert accused of murdering her husband is more your “cup of tea”? And how did you react to that twist in Turn of the Key?

“There’s a reason why we keep thoughts inside our heads for the most part—they’re not safe to be let out in public.”

Ruth Ware, The Woman in Cabin 10
Gabriele M.
“Many people dub Ruth Ware as like Agatha Christie. But she doesn’t have detectives like Miss Marple or Poirot. Instead, you get in the heads of her protagonists and there are lots of fun unexpected twists along the way as a result. Ware does sometimes have similar setups as Christie. For instance a murder in the Alps and the suspects all locked together in a chalet. But she brings her own flavour to the mystery.”
