The Lying Game: A Novel - Ruth Ware The Woman in Cabin 10 - Ruth Ware In a Dark, Dark Wood - Ruth Ware

So The Lying Game is the third Ruth Ware book I've read in quick succession, and all the blurbs tell me that if I'm a fan of Agatha Christie I'm going to love these books.

 

Nope. Christie's characters are well-drawn (if sometimes a wee bit stereotyped), and easily imagined. All the characters in Ware's books are one-dimensional and instantly forgettable. And most of them are way too stupid to live.
