Ruth Ware

Ruth Ware grew up in Sussex on England’s south coast. She studied at Manchester University and lived in Paris for a while before settling in North London. Before becoming a full-time writer, she also worked as a waitress, an English teacher, and a bookseller. Though she enjoyed writing stories from the time she was a little girl, writing remained a hobby until she was in her thirties, when she began working on novels while her two children were in school and found her first publishing success. Her bestselling mysteries include In a Dark, Dark Wood and The Lying Game.
