Hal, a young, impoverished tarot card reader, is surprised when she learns of the passing of her grandmother, Mrs. Westaway—particularly since her grandmother had died before Hal was born. Hoping to alleviate some of her financial distress, Hal attends Mrs. Westaway’s funeral and discovers everything isn’t as she initially imagined.
The premise of Ruth Ware’s latest novel, The Death of Mrs. Westaway, is intriguing. However, it took me a long time, almost to the last 80 pages, to feel hooked on this book. The execution is slow and sometimes rather dull, but ultimately the story grabbed me and I had to know the ending.
