Interestingly, Nora has not spoken to Clare in a decade. When Leonora Shaw wakes up in the hospital with memory gaps and a head wound, one of the first questions she asks is, “What have I done?” Through flashbacks, Ware slowly unspools the mystery, putting forth a truly spooky scene as six related strangers gather at the isolated Glass House to celebrate the upcoming marriage of Nora’s former friend Clare Cavendish. They just get more punctilious about hiding their true selves. She changed her name to Ruth Ware to distinguish her crime novels from the young-adult fantasy novels published under her name, Ruth Warburton. In a Dark, Dark Wood is her debut thriller. Ware has worked as a waitress, a bookseller, a teacher of English as a foreign language, and a press officer. After graduating from Manchester University she moved to Paris, before settling in North London. Ruth Ware grew up in Sussex, on the south coast of England.
