Why Nora even decided to attend this bachelorette party is beyond me. The story seems pretty harmless, except for the fact that the first chapter is told from the perspective of one of the main characters, Nora, right after she wakes up in a hospital bed. In A Dark, Dark Wood is about a group of friends attending a bachelorette (hen) party at a cabin in the middle of the woods. Last year I received a copy of In A Dark, Dark Wood from my book club’s holiday book-exchange, so I decided it was finally time to give it a go. I’ve seen lots of great reviews of her latest novel, The Lying Game, and recently heard good things about her second novel, The Woman in Cabin 10, from a friend. She’s managed to publish three books in the past three years. Ruth Ware’s books seem to be everywhere lately. I used to think of this genre as “all those weird books my mom reads,” but now they’ve become books I read, too! I’d like to officially apologize for all my past judgement towards thrillers, because honestly, who doesn’t love trying to solve a good mystery? My most recent jaunt through this genre was with Ruth Ware’s In A Dark, Dark Wood, and it did not disappoint. I’ve read more psychological thrillers this year than ever before.
