The Tale of Mrs Westaway by Ruth Ware
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
If you’re a Ruth Ware fan, you need to sign up for her book club (just because she’s awesome), but also because you can get this short story for free!
The Tale of Mrs. Westaway is a prequel to The Death of Mrs. Westaway that gives the back story of Mrs. Westaway, her marriage, and the development of her family. It took me about an hour to read so is a nice book to read if you need a brain break from longer novels or are looking for a short story to get you closer to your Reading Challenge goal.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…. Ruth Ware is one of those people you either really love or you don’t. I’m on the “really love” end of the spectrum and enjoy everything she writes. After reading The Tale of Mrs. Westaway, I actually wish she would publish more short stories, because the Gothic and ghostly quality of her writing lends itself well to this type of tale.
Thank you to Ruth Ware for sharing this story with her book club members!

About me? Who am I? I'm Ashley Houser, formerly Tocco (Toe-ko, not Taco). I live in Nashville, Tennessee and work as a pharmacy manager for Vanderbilt Children's Hospital. I married the love of my life in August 2017 and have been enjoying the ride ever since. But, let's get down to why I'm here. I'm a reader. I enjoy all things psychological, thriller, mystery, and everything in between. On occasion I find myself engrossed in a good dystopian novel as well. I started this blog as a place to share my thoughts on books I've ready in the mystery/thriller genre. And while that's still the case, it has now evolved to "all the books." Mystery, thriller, science fiction, southern fiction, young adult, you name it.
There is a little something for everybody. I hope this is a place where people feel inspired to pick up a book and jump into their next literary adventure. Happy reading!
