From the Sunday Times and New York Times bestseller comes a brilliantly gripping thriller which finds a group of colleagues trapped by snow in their chalet in the French Alps, with deadly consequences.
Snow is falling in the exclusive alpine ski resort of Saint Antoine, as the shareholders and directors of Snoop, the hottest new music app, gather for a make or break corporate retreat to decide the future of the company. At stake is a billion-dollar dot com buyout that could make them all millionaires, or leave some of them out in the cold.
The clock is ticking on the offer, and with the group irrevocably split, tensions are running high. When an avalanche cuts the chalet off from help, and one board member goes missing in the snow, the group is forced to ask - would someone resort to murder, to get what they want?

'Deliciously dark and utterly addictive - my favourite Ruth Ware
yet' Lucy Foley Everyone wanted her life Someone wanted her dead It
was Hannah who found April's body ten years ago. It was Hannah who
didn't question what she saw that day. Did her testimony put an
innocent man in prison? She needs to know the truth. Even if it
means questioning her own friends. Even if it means putting her own
life at risk. Because if the killer wasn't a stranger, it's someone
she knows... Praise for The It Girl: 'An absolute belter. Could not
put it down! I thought I knew who the killer was. Then I was
CERTAIN it was another person! Then DEFINITELY another! Great
characterisation, glamorous setting, all round FABALISS!' Marian
Keyes 'A cracking read - and that ending!' Shari Lapena 'Every Ruth
Ware novel is a unique and unexpected gem and this one is no
exception. A heady, tense, slowburn dream of a book, multi-layered
and steeped in atmosphere and peril. I loved every page' Lisa
Jewell 'Absolutely brilliant murder mystery - seamless, flawless,
perfectly clued and utterly gripping' Sophie Hannah 'Impeccably
crafted and totally compulsive - you'll be sad to reach the final
page and realise you have to say goodbye' JP Delaney 'Ruth Ware's
richly-textured The It Girl is at once an engrossing murder mystery
while also a perfectly crafted and haunting examination of lost
youth and the compromises of adulthood, as a woman unpicks the past
secrets of her university friends to finally lay to rest her
murdered best friend, the dazzling April. Reminiscent of The Secret
History, Ware has surpassed herself with this gripping, absorbing
whodunnit. I loved it! All hail the Queen' Sarah Pinborough 'If you
ever idly wish that Agatha Christie would write a new book, Ruth
Ware has got you covered. The It Girl has all the clues, twists and
red herrings you could wish for, in a thoroughly modern setting. An
impeccably constructed mystery from start to finish' Jane Casey
'It's brilliant. Ruth is the master of the fiendishly twisty, yet
completely believable, plot' Elly Griffiths 'Just finished The It
Girl by Ruth Ware and now my life is divided in two: before and
after. Before: cool, calm, chilled. After: What? No! OMG! A wild
ride that's deliciously twisting, with countless gasp-out-loud
moments' Janice Hallett 'A new Ruth Ware is always a treat and The
It Girl is one of her best. You can almost see her smiling as she
feeds you the little morsels that should help you work everything
out - if only you were as clever as Ruth! As sleek and chilling as
a knife between the ribs' Sarah J. Naughton 'Clever. Compelling and
with a terrific sense of place. Ruth Ware's The It Girl grips to
the end' Jane Shemilt

'Ruth Ware just gets better and better’ Lisa Jewell, author of
The People Upstairs 'A dark tale by one of the best thriller
writers around' Independent 'Will hold you captive until the
brilliant ending' Shari Lapena, author of Someone We Know ‘A real
spine-chiller that confirms Ruth Ware as the true heir to
Christie’s crown. Ingenious plotting sees the body count rise and
multiple suspects eliminated until we’re left with breathless
game of cat-and-mouse’ Erin Kelly, bestselling author of He Said,

inexorably shredded as, over and again, the tension builds and then
evaporates until the final, unexpected denouement' Metro 'A

Four friends. One promise. But someone isn't telling the truth. The
twisting new mystery from bestselling phenomenon Ruth Ware. The
text message arrives in the small hours of the night. It's just
three words: I need you. Isa drops everything, takes her baby
daughter and heads straight to Salten. She spent the most
significant days of her life at boarding school on the marshes
there, days which still cast their shadow over her. At school Isa
and her three best friends used to play the Lying Game. They
competed to convince people of the most outrageous stories. Now,
after seventeen years of secrets, something terrible has been found
on the beach. Something which will force Isa to confront her past,
together with the three women she hasn't seen for years, but has
never forgotten. Theirs is no cosy reunion: Salten isn't a safe
place for them, not after what they did. It's time for the women to
get their story straight...
An unputdownable mystery following a woman on the search for answers a decade after her friend’s murder.
April Clarke-Cliveden was the first person Hannah Jones met at Oxford. Vivacious, bright, occasionally vicious, and the ultimate It girl, she quickly pulled Hannah into her dazzling orbit. Together, they developed a group of devoted and inseparable friends—Will, Hugh, Ryan, and Emily—during their first term. By the end of the year, April was dead.
Now, a decade later, Hannah and Will are expecting their first child, and the man convicted of killing April, former Oxford porter John Neville, has died in prison. Relieved to have finally put the past behind her, Hannah’s world is rocked when a young journalist comes knocking and presents new evidence that Neville may have been innocent. As Hannah reconnects with old friends and delves deeper into the mystery of April’s death, she realizes that the friends she thought she knew all have something to hide…including a murder.
