It was really crazy because all thrillers should be crazy. With a feeble income from reading tarot cards on the pier for tourists in a kiosk that her mother formally had rented before her death, Hal is almost a moment away from destitute in Ruth Ware's The Death Of Mrs. It takes place in England (as all of Ruth Ware’s books do), in freezing Cornwall. It was super creepy (so perfect for this time of year with Halloween coming up!). And Hal decides she must figure out what is really going on. Westaway’s, Hal realized that something is very wrong with the entire situation. Once at the large, old estate that was Mrs. But out of desperation, Hal decided to go to the funeral and use her people reading skills as a way to possibly convince the family that she is in fact the long-lost granddaughter. The only problem is that Hal’s grandparents died long before she was ever born. She receives a mysterious letter saying that her grandmother had died and she might be receiving some inheritance. Then one day, her luck seems to turn around. And she has no one to turn to for help – no family, no close friends, no one. She is avoiding a loan shark and barely making ends meet. And when her mother died in a hit and run accident three years ago, Hal had to drop out of school and take over her mother’s business. She grew up with a single mother who read tarot cards on the touristy pier. Harriet (Hal) Westaway has had a tough life. I just read her latest book The Death of Mrs. Then I read The Lying Game, which was pretty good. I quickly followed with In A Dark, Dark Wood, which was really good too. The first of her books that I read was The Woman in Cabin 10. I wish she had more books than I could greedily read with a crazy fury.
