An Interview with Ruth Ware

Longlisted for Theakston Old Peculier Crime Novel of the Year 2023 for The It Girl

Longlisted for the Theakston Old Peculier Crime Novel of the Year Award 2023, Ruth Ware joins Harrogate International Festivals and host Joe Haddow, to talk about her book, The It Girl.

Everyone wanted her life. Someone wanted her dead. It was Hannah who found April’s body ten years ago. It was Hannah who didn’t 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 wasn’t a stranger, it’s someone she knows.
