On a day that begins like any other, Hal receives a mysterious letter bequeathing her a substantial inheritance. She realizes very quickly that the letter was sent to the wrong person-but also that the cold-reading skills she's honed as a tarot card reader might help her claim the money.
Soon, Hal finds herself at the funeral of the deceased.where it dawns on her that there is something very, very wrong about this strange situation and the inheritance at the center of it.
Full of spellbinding menace and told in Ruth Ware's signature suspenseful style, this is an unputdownable thriller from the Agatha Christie of our time.

Review
"Ruth Ware is a magician. Her novels-suspenseful, sophisticated, relentlessly compelling-blow the dust off half a dozen crime genres, from Golden Age whodunits to psychological suspense. And The Death of Mrs. Westaway, her latest, is also her best: a dark and dramatic thriller, part murder mystery, part family drama, altogether riveting. More, please, and soon."
-A. J. Finn, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Woman in the Window
"Ware's novels continue to evoke comparison to Agatha Christie; they certainly have that classic flavor despite the contemporary settings. Expertly paced, expertly crafted."
-Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"Ware's fourth novel is her best yet, with steadily increasing tension, a complicated twisty mystery, and a sharp, sympathetic heroine who's up to the challenge of solving it. well-crafted, gothic-tinged suspense."
-Library Journal (starred review)
"Ware, who, with a run of acclaimed thrillers, including The Lying Game (2017), has established herself as one of today's most popular suspense writers, twists the knife quite expertly here. The labyrinth Ware has devised here is much more winding than expected, with reveals even on the final pages. a clever heroine and an atmospheric setting, accented by wisps of meaning that drift from the tarot cards."
-Booklist (starred review)
"Evocative prose, artfully shaded characters, and a creepy, claustrophobic atmosphere keep the pages of this explosive family drama turning."
-*Publishers Weekly*
"I've adored Ruth Ware's work for some time, ever since I picked up her first playful puzzler of a mystery, In a Dark, Dark Wood. She's been making her way through classic mystery settings, making each her own, and her new volume promises to continue the trend, in a tale of a con artist headed to a family funeral that promises to be the most entertaining fictional British burial since the film Death at a Funeral first graced our screens."
-*Literary Hub*
"Fans of The Woman in Cabin 10, rejoice. Ruth Ware is bringing you another page-turning tale of suspense... Thrilling and clever, The Death of Mrs. Westaway will be hard to put down."
-*PopSugar*
"The best-selling writer of psychological thrillers (In a Dark, Dark Wood and The Woman in Cabin 10) has a new winner. the situation grows increasingly complicated and creepy, Agatha Christie-style."
-*AARP*
"Ruth Ware's master storytelling again sets readers on edge."
-*RT Book Reviews*
"Ruth Ware continues making a name for herself in the suspense genre with her Agatha Christie-esque novel, The Death of Mrs. Westaway."
-*Bookpage*
"Ruth Ware continues to revitalize the traditional mystery for millennial audiences in The Death of Mrs Westaway, for another mystery that functions both as tribute to the genre's tropes and a playful revisioning of the drawing room mystery."
