In A Dark, Dark Wood by Ruth Ware is a crime novel. I guess the setting is a hen party in England. I say that because I never heard of a hen party. It's a party for the bride-to-be. Also, the things the girls did at the hen party weren't things girls do around here.
I have two daughters who went places with friends before their weddings, i.e., manicures, facials, massages, parties on schooners, and other various sundry places. This was a vicious vulture venue. What a bunch of mean-spirited floozies.
Their high school sex adventures would make a prostitute blush. I don't think the average teen is into sex like these tarts were.
Outside of the portrayal of their teen sex lives, the crime itself was riveting. There are quite a few red herrings. At one time, I thought the entire hen party was "gaslighting." Ruth Ware spins a good yarn. It is scary and a page-turner. I'd recommend it.
