In a Dark, Dark Wood by Ruth Ware

3.0

While not a bad book, it isn’t necessarily what I would call good either. I personally prefer my mysteries fast paced, and this one dragged. On. Miserably. Without spoiling it, all the ‘big reveals’ weren’t all that big. I wouldn’t call it predictable but it wasn’t surprising either. If there was a more professional word for ‘mid’, I would apply it here. I can see why someone would enjoy this book but it was a grueling process for me to finish. Also, for any American readers, you’ll have to use some brainpower or Google to translate some of the Brit slang. Not exactly winning me over with Ruth Ware for this book, but who knows?
