The Death of Mrs. Westaway by Ruth Ware is a very entertaining read. So tricky. So spellbinding. This author draws you in and does not let go until the last page. Dang.
Harriet Westaway, one step away from eviction, gets a letter in the mail indicating she's come into some money. But wait, she reviews her folders - hmm, do they have the wrong granddaughter? Her paperwork does not add up, but what the heck? Maybe she can pull this off?
Hal hopes that her "career" as a tarot card reader can help her pull off a claim to money. She feels guilty, but she has some bad guys threatening her life.
At Trespassen, the family estate, she meets her uncles, hears about her dead mother/aunt, and is pulled into quite the mystery mess. Soon, she's quite threatened and scared for her life.
whoa! Keep those pages turning and hang in until the end. Great read!
I'll look for this - though dim hopes here if it is published anytime this century :) I do like a meaty mystery...thanks for the review!
ReplyDeleteMeaty is a good descriptor. Hope you can find it. And it seems you are settling in. Cheers
