When a friend she hasn't seen or spoken to in years unexpectedly invites Nora (<i>Lee</i><i>?</i>) to a weekend away in an eerie glass house deep in the English countryside, she reluctantly agrees to make the trip. Forty-eight hours later, she wakes up in a hospital bed injured but alive, with the knowledge that someone is dead. Wondering not &quot;what happened?&quot; but &quot;what have I done?&quot;, Nora (<i>Lee</i><i>?</i>) tries to piece together the events of the past weekend. Working to uncover secrets, reveal motives, and find answers, Nora (<i>Lee</i><i>?</i>) must revisit parts of herself that she would much rather leave buried where they belong: in the past.<br> <br> In the tradition of Paula Hawkins's instant <i>New York Times</i> bestseller <i>The Girl On the Train</i> and S. J. Watson's riveting national sensation <i>Before I Go To Sleep</i>, this gripping literary debut from UK novelist Ruth Ware will leave you on the edge of your seat through the very last page.
