The plot continues with the group bonding over drugs, drinks, a Ouija board, and a shooting range. Now we have Nora stuck in a house filled with strangers and no cell reception. We see her constantly correcting Clare and Flo when they call her Lee, Clare’s old nickname for her, and we are told that only one person has ever called her Leo. Crazy best friend? Check. Bring on the murder! She seems sweet and friendly, but something is off about her.(She was my favorite character, if you can’t tell.) A sharp-tongued, cigarette smoking, glorious woman.She leaves the glass house before the twist happens. Melanie is a new mom, and is constantly worried about the kid.
Flo is the current best friend, and very loyal to Clare…too loyal.The three strangers: Tom, Flo, and Melanie
Have you ever watched, “When a Stranger Calls”? Well, that house is very similar to the one in the book. Lee (Clare’s nickname for Nora) along with five others gather in the classic horror shack: a house of glass windows plopped in the middle of the woods during winter.
It had been 10 years since they lost touch. Nora was invited to the hen party (bachelorette party to us in the United States) of her former childhood best friend, Clare Cavendish. The story plays out as she attempts to remember what happened to her, and all the while, she knows something went terribly wrong. Our protagonist is Leonora “Nora” Shaw has woken up in the hospital with her memory shot. I read too fast…partly because I was being sucked into the book.īefore I get to my mistake, let me introduce you to the book it’s told through flashbacks. If you’re a movie-lover like I am, you can tell after awhile what details are important to the plot. In a Dark, Dark Wood is somewhat predictable. Two were by Gillian Flynn, Dark Places and Sharp Objects, and the other was In a Dark, Dark Wood by Ruth Ware. Now, I had just finished The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins (I do recommend it by the way) and I was craving something with a similar complexity, so I searched under “books like these” and found three books. After receiving a Barnes & Noble gift card (it’s the gift that keeps on giving), I eagerly began my search for another book.
