The It Girl by Ruth Ware
4.0

With trails of perfect little breadcrumbs scattered about, it's no wonder that this book kept me guessing. And I wondered throughout if there would be any messy loose ends, but it was just NEAT. Ruth Ware does such a good job of leading the audience exactly where she wants them to go (which is usually in the wrong direction). It is a very British sort of mystery, landing somewhere between The Girls are All So Nice Here and In My Dreams I Hold a Knife for me. But overall, it was a definite improvement over One by One in my eyes so I'll be sure to check her next novel out.
