Ruth Ware

Ruth Ware's bestselling novels — including The Lying Game and The Woman in Cabin 10 — bring the aura of classic works of gothic fiction into cinematically rendered modern settings, yielding tightly wound tales of paranoia, mystery and suspense.   But for all of the perfectionistic care the author seems to take with her plots, her characters lead messy, all-too-human lives.  She joins us in this episode of the podcast to talk about her latest, The Death of Mrs. Westaway, in which a mysterious inheritance leads a young woman down a path of deception.
