I read In a Dark Dark Wood last year. It was terrible. I almost stopped reading it halfway through, but I thought something interesting was finally going to happen. I was wrong.

The Woman in Cabin 10 was on my list, but that quickly changed.

I read The Woman in Cabin 10. It was just ok in my opinion. The female lead was very annoying. I tried to read In a Dark Dark Wood, and I just could not get far with the book. I have given up on this author she is not for me.

Mysteries are my favorite genre, especially by British authors. Tried to read her books and never got very far.

 I love Mysteries/thrillers/crime stories.

I just finished The Death of Mrs. Westaway.  It was my first Ruth Ware book and I really enjoyed it.  Had a gothic feel to it.  

I am interested in trying one of her other books but I'm not sure which one yet!

I'm halfway through The Death Of Mrs. Westaway and am thoroughly enjoying it.  I'm anxious to finish it.

I recently read The Woman in Cabin10.  Would not recommend.  The main character wasn’t like able and the end was rushed and didn’t make any sense.

I have not read The Lying Game. (No particular reason-just many other books to read.)   I have read her other titles.  In my opinion, her newest, The Death of Mrs. Westaway, is the best of her work.  Sometimes it takes an author a few tries to hit his or her stride.  I recommend this latest title.

I read the Woman in Cabin 10 and thought it was good but not great.  I picked up the Death of Mrs. Westaway at the library and read it in two days.  I could not put it down.  One of my favorite reads of the year so far

@lmtI nearly borrowed the "dark wood" book but read a couple reviews and left it.  The more I read this thread, the more glad I am that I did.

I must be the odd man out.  I've read all of her books and am about halfway through The Death of Mrs. Westaway.  To me, it is the least interesting of all of them.  I've invested time in it, so I am going to finish it, but I think I'm done with this author as I've found all her books to be mediocre at best.  They've just drawn so much acclaim that I keep thinking the next one will be the one that draws me in, but that has never happened.
