When Harriet Westaway receives an unexpected letter telling her she's inherited a substantial bequest from her Cornish grandmother, it seems like the answer to her prayers.
There's just one problem - Hal's grandparents died more than twenty years ago.
Hal desperately needs the cash and makes a choice that will change her life for ever. She knows that her skills as a seaside fortune teller could help her con her way to getting the money.
But once Hal embarks on her deception, there is no going back.

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Tarot cards, an unexpected inheritance and a gloomy mansion—in the hands of Ruth Ware, that's all a mystery lover needs for a brilliant night in. Ware keenly understands the intricate mechanics of suspense: Much of the pleasure of The Death of Mrs Westaway lies in her subtle sense of pacing and masterful use of Gothic-steeped atmosphere. She’s also created a terrific heroine in hard-luck tarot-card reader Hal, who is at once unreliable, sympathetic and shrewd. Following Hal's journey through a maze of secrets is a deliciously nerve-jangling pursuit.
