Ruth Ware

Do you know an It Girl? In Ruth Ware’s novel of that name, April
has confidence, money, brains, friends, and good looks. This
makes many people adore her, but it inspires hatred too. In fact,
someone hates her enough to kill her.


 Returning Book Club author Ruth joins Richard and Judy to
explain why she wrote such a complex, fleshed-out murdered
character, that is, why it was important to her that the reader
felt her presence in the world would be missed. Ruth also talks
about taking inspiration for The It Girl from classic thriller
writers like Agatha Christie by setting the novel in a ‘closed
circle’ – a privileged, walled Oxford University College.
