The Death of Mrs. Westaway

I think this is my favorite Ruth Ware book so far. It was a very enjoyable, suspenseful read. Although I had pretty much figured it all out halfway through, it was still fun to read and see how it unfolded.

Hal receives a letter that her grandmother has died and left her an inheritance. The only problem is Hal is not Mrs. Westaway's granddaughter. Or is she? The story is about Hal's journey into a past she never knew she had with a family that may actual be her blood relatives. We follow Hal as she learns bits of information along the way that reveal her true origins.

I found this mystery to be very engrossing. I was never bored. The old house in which it is set is just creepy enough to keep the reader on edge. The characters each have some element of mystery about them that leads to a lot of speculation from the reader. I found it fun to try to solve the mystery, which I did pretty early on. It was still fun to continue reading to see if I was correct.

I would definitely recommend this Ruth Ware book to other readers. I would actually suggest starting with this one as I feel it is the best.
