In a Dark, Dark Wood - Tapa dura

"A slickly plotted, whip smart thriller - genuinely chilling and totally compulsive" (Sunday Mirror, Book of the Week)

"[A] chilling psychological thriller...a tense, claustrophobic marriage of secrets, tequila shots and shotguns" (Sunday Express)

"If the premise might be the sort that Agatha Christie would have toyed with had she been a 21st-century graduate, Ware’s analysis of the power-games some women revel in – and the toxicity in the undertow of some female friendships – is more reminiscent of Sophie Hannah, Christobel Kent, or even Gillian Flynn and Harriet Lane" (Patricia Nicol Independent)

"You won’t be able to put down this creepy page-turner" (Closer)

"Thrilling, gripping & well-written" (Metro, Book of the Week)

"Toxic friendships, an isolated house, a dark snowy wood... Everyone's worst nightmare, and the perfect ingredients for this tense, terrifying novel" (Clare Mackintosh, author of I Let You Go)

"This is one of the hottest crime debuts around, one that does for friendship what Gone Girl did for marriage" (Netgalley)

"So gripping. So glad my hen do days are behind me. It’s going to be huge" (Tamar Cohen, author of Dying for Christmas and The Broken)

Someone's getting married. Someone's getting murdered.

In a dark, dark wood

Nora hasn't seen Clare for ten years. Not since Nora walked out of school one day and never went back.

There was a dark, dark house

Until, out of the blue, an invitation to Clare’s hen do arrives. Is this a chance for Nora to finally put her past behind her?

And in the dark, dark house there was a dark, dark room

But something goes wrong. Very wrong.

And in the dark, dark room....

Some things can’t stay secret for ever.
