About this listen

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.

Critic reviews

A slickly plotted, whip smart thriller - genuinely chilling and totally compulsive

[A] chilling psychological thriller...a tense, claustrophobic marriage of secrets, tequila shots and shotguns

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)

You won’t be able to put down this creepy page-turner

Thrilling, gripping & well-written

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

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)

Ruth Ware has written an exciting, and in fact amazing book that never stops circling around behind the reader and clapping its cold hands over her eyes (Peter Straub, NYT bestselling author of Ghost Story and A Dark Matter)

I raced through this, totally unable to put it down. It’s gripping from start to finish: slick plotting, sharp twists and a pitch-perfect understanding of the many unique ways in which female friends hurt one another. Dark, smart and compulsive (Nicci Cloke, author of Lay Me Down)

Most relevant

Well written crime drama with interesting twists and turns. Ms Church did a very competent job of reading but I found some of the voices very annoying, perhaps they were intended to be do but I found them rather distracting.
