Tout le monde voulait sa vie.
Quelqu'un voulait sa mort.
Il y a dix ans, Hannah a découvert le corps d'April, inerte, dans leur chambre du campus d'Oxford. La belle April, que tous adoraient et enviaient à la fois.
Depuis, son souvenir hante Hannah. Et alors que ses proches tentent de la libérer de sa culpabilité, l'annonce de la mort en prison du meurtrier d'April va la replonger dans le passé. Entre les événements qui ont précédé cette soirée tragique et les incohérences de l'enquête, la jeune femme en est certaine : l'homme a été condamné à tort et le vrai coupable court toujours.
Hannah doit connaître la vérité, coûte que coûte. Même si cela signifie douter de l'innocence de ses propres amis. Même si c'est au péril de sa vie. -

Deliciously dark and utterly addictive -- my favourite Ruth Ware yet Lucy Foley Everyone wanted her life Someone wanted her dead It was Hannah who found Aprils body ten years ago. It was Hannah who didnt question what she saw that day. Did her testimony put an innocent man in prison? She needs to know the truth. Even if it means questioning her own friends. Even if it means putting her own life at risk. Because if the killer wasnt a stranger, it''s someone she knows Praise for The It Girl : ''A cracking read and that ending!'' Shari Lapena ''Every Ruth Ware novel is a unique and unexpected gem and this one is no exception. A heady, tense, slowburn dream of a book, multi-layered and steeped in atmosphere and peril. I loved every page'' Lisa Jewell Ruth Wares richly-textured The It Girl is at once an engrossing murder mystery while also a perfectly crafted and haunting examination of lost youth and the compromises of adulthood, as a woman unpicks the past secrets of her university friends to finally lay to rest her murdered best friend, the dazzling April. Reminiscent of The Secret History , Ware has surpassed herself with this gripping, absorbing whodunnit. I loved it! All hail the Queen'' Sarah Pinborough If you ever idly wish that Agatha Christie would write a new book, Ruth Ware has got you covered.

Ruth is the master of the fiendishly twisty, yet completely believable, plot'' Elly Griffiths ''Just finished The It Girl by Ruth Ware and now my life is divided in two: before and after. Before: cool, calm, chilled. After: What? No! OMG! A wild ride thats deliciously twisting, with countless gasp-out-loud moments'' Janice Hallett ''A new Ruth Ware is always a treat and The It Gir l is one of her best. You can almost see her smiling as she feeds you the little morsels that should help you work everything out - if only you were as clever as Ruth! As sleek and chilling as a knife between the ribs'' Sarah J. Naughton Clever. Compelling and with a terrific sense of place. Ruth Wares The It Girl grips to the end Jane Shemilt
