I hope Hollywood or the BBC will get cranking on the movie versions of Ruth Ware’s fantastic psychological crime thriller novels!
I also hope the screenwriters, who gets the gig to adapt them, doesn’t botch the job and ruin the intricacies of their plots like the writer hired by FOX did with A.J. Finn’s novel, The Woman in the Window. That movie disappointed me and other Netflix viewers around the globe.
That said, Ruth Ware’s literary gems would be super cool to watch.
I was enthralled with the majority of her books.
My favorite page-turners to read were: The Woman in Cabin 10, The Death of Mrs. Westaway, and The Turn of a Key.
OMG, the characters and plot twists were amazing!
Her other two novels, In the Dark Dark Wood, and The Lying Game plodded along at a much slower pace. So much so that I had no problem putting the book down and dabbling with something else for a day or two, but I finished them. They picked up at the end. Nothing close to the page-turners like her other three novels.
She’s from Britain, so her novels are filled with British slang which often throws many of us non-brits off at times, but her snappy descriptions give me a chuckle time and again. He insight into characters and relationships is spot on!
So if you haven’t read any of of Ruth Ware’s novels, or you were put off by the sluggish style of the two I mention above, give her other novels a read. They’ll keep you up nights guessing and guessing about what happens next!
And that’s what good novel are supposed to do. Enjoy!
