Working to uncover secrets, reveal motives, and find answers, Nora (<i>Lee</i><i>?</i>) must revisit parts of herself that she would much rather leave buried where they belong: in the past.<br><br>In the tradition of Paula Hawkins's instant <i>New York Times</i> bestseller <i>The Girl On the Train</i> and S. J. Watson’s riveting national sensation<i>Before I Go To Sleep</i>, this gripping literary debut from UK novelist Ruth Ware will leave you on the edge of your seat through the very last page.
