About Book:
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 centre of it.
About Author:
Ruth Ware grew up in Sussex, on the south coast of England. After graduating from Manchester University she moved to Paris, before settling in North London.

My Review:
This book was so creepy. In a great way. I have read all of Ruth Ware’s books. And this book had me completely hooked from page one!
This book follows the story of Hal; She has no family, she lives alone in a decaying flat, she makes her money by tarot reading during the day, she’s mainly broke and she owes a lot of money to some loan sharks. When Hal receives a mysterious letter addressed to her- a letter concerning an inheritance- she is keen to find out more.
I have read all of Ruth Ware’s books and I am looking forward to reading her new Book, The Turn of the Key, which is scheduled to come out in August. I am giving this 5 stars. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT.
Happy Readying
