    It was ok

    This was an easy read & I liked it
    But it was very predictable ...
    There was no surprises in this book for me at least (might be different for you )
    I would recommend “The woman in cabin 10” from Ruth ware...
    That one has a bit more surprises.

    I really enjoyed in a dark dark wood! Ruth ware has a style of writing that just makes you want to sit there and keep turning the pages. The story kept you guessing over and over again, at what was going on and who was responsible. I had to read to the very end before knowing who was the killer and then all the puzzle pieces fell together. It is a great thrilling and page turning read!

    I had previously read The Woman In Cabin 10 and found myself quite disappointed in the ending. A friend suggested I give the author another try and that In A Dark Dark Wood was a better read. This book was intense to say the least. Half the time I didn't even know what to think. The writing was engaging and roped me in. I couldn't decide who the killer was! Found myself scared several times and not wanting to continue reading at night in the dark!

    About the book:
    What should be a cozy and fun-filled weekend deep in the English countryside takes a sinister turn in Ruth Ware's suspenseful, compulsive, and darkly twisted psychological thriller. Leonora, known to some as Lee and others as Nora, is a reclusive crime writer, unwilling to leave her "nest" of an apartment unless it is absolutely necessary. When a friend she hasn't seen or spoken to in years unexpectedly invites Nora (Lee?) to a weekend away in an eerie glass house deep in the English countryside, she reluctantly agrees to make the trip. Forty-eight hours later, she wakes up in a hospital bed injured but alive, with the knowledge that someone is dead. Wondering not "what happened?" but "what have I done?," Nora (Lee?) tries to piece together the events of the past weekend. Working to uncover secrets, reveal motives, and find answers, Nora (Lee?) must revisit parts of herself that she would much rather leave buried where they belong: in the past.
