Mystery

The It Girl

by Ruth Ware

Hannah Jones's Oxford roommate April was brilliant, wealthy, manipulative, and seemingly destined for a dazzling future before she was murdered. A decade later, the death of the man convicted largely through Hannah's testimony prompts a journalist to question whether the wrong person went to prison. Pregnant and increasingly unsettled, Hannah revisits former friends and memories distorted by grief, loyalty, and April's appetite for dangerous games. Compulsively readable, this mystery suits readers who enjoy dark academia, old friend groups, dual timelines, and heroines forced to test the certainty on which they built their adult lives.
