The Death of Mrs. Westaway

I read The Death of Mrs. Westaway by Ruth Ware for a book club. The book description says, "On a day that begins like any other, Hal receives a mysterious letter bequeathing her a substantial inheritance. She realizes very quickly that the letter was sent to the wrong person—but also that the cold-reading skills she’s honed as a tarot card reader might help her claim the money. Soon, Hal finds herself at the funeral of the deceased…where it dawns on her that there is something very, very wrong about this strange situation and the inheritance at the center of it."

This was a great read. It was kinda scary (like I probably would have been too scared to watch a show of this book) but super engaging, and I wanted to keep reading to see what would happen. I feel like the author did a good job creating solid characters that I wanted to stick with (mainly Hal). There were things I predicted early on but other things that were complete surprises. (I did feel like there were some gaps that maybe the author should have closed up or explained better.) I liked how things concluded in the end.
