While this starts off slow and un thriller like, it certainly makes up for it in the end. It starts off as lit fic, becomes a mystery, and ends as a thriller, and while i wish this had started off a little faster, I loved it . I very much enjoyed the twists and turns in this story, even if I did predict some of them. 4.5/5

The Death of Mrs. Westaway
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Sometimes you just need a good mystery thriller when you’re between Libby holds! Ruth Ware is such an easy one to get into so I figured why not try another from her backlist.
Hal, a young woman barely scraping by, receives a strange letter telling her she has inherited something from an old woman’s passing. Almost as soon as she arrives she gets caught up in family drama. With almost no one being as kind as they appear, she must figure out her connection to this well off family.
I thoroughly enjoyed this audiobook. Imogen Church does such good narration of Ruth Ware’s books! Definitely worth a listen if you like a slower mystery/thriller!

Finished this late into the night at 2am. It was good but could easily have been edited down to a 200-page book.
