In a Dark, Dark Wood / Ruth Ware / 310 pages

I received this  book as an ARC and would highly recommend it.  To say it is a page-turner would be a gross understatement.  Allow enough time to read straight through.  You will be most unhappy if you don't.  The book opens with Leonora Shaw running...hurt and hospitalized...then running again as time waffles.  She has been invited to the Hen (bachelorette) Party of a friend she hasn't seen or heard from in ten years.  Another best friend begs her to attend.  Nora is a writer, almost a recluse, and attends only to please Nina.  The Hen Party setting is bizarre as is the bride-to-be's best friend.  Tension mounts as mysterious footprints are discovered in the snow, a midnight intruder is discovered in the house, and a shotgun supposedly loaded with blanks, is used to kill someone.  Who is the murderer?
