The Death of Mrs. Westaway by Ruth WareMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
The Death of Mrs. Westaway is my favorite novel by Ruth Ware so far! I am working my way through her books in order, so I reserve the right to amend that statement in the future. This book has a bit of a gothic feel to it. I saw it was compared to Rebecca, one of my favorite books of all time, and I think the comparison is on point. Very different storylines but a similar aesthetic feel.
I loved the incorporation of tarot into the storyline. Whether you believe in such things or not, the cards do have a way of helping you focus on answers you already know intuitively and want confirmed. It made me want to go get a reading even though she basically tells you it's bunk. Still fun.
Bonus points for the mockingbirds. So creepy!
