I found this book to be more like the death of Mrs. westaway than in the dark dark woods (which is a good thing). I was definitely hooked early on. It was a tad creepy but knew that it wasn't real I just could not figure out who was doing it and why. There were suspicions from everyone but I didnt see the end coming and some of the twists.

Good book,
Thanks NetGalley for this ARC

Once again, Ruth Ware has created an atmospheric, intense novel. However, this one seemed different than her previous works, not only from the format, but that it didn’t seem quite as complicated.

Rowan applies for a live in nanny position, and to her surprise, is hired. She moves into the family’s smart house, and right away, odd things start happening.

The story is told through letters that Rowan is writing to her solicitor, as she sits in prison for a crime that she insists she didn’t commit.

Rowan is a fairly likeable character, and I found myself hoping for her success. This is a very interesting, hard to put down book.

Thank you to Netgalley and Simon and Schuster Canada for the ARC of this book!

Thank you to NetGalley, Simon & Schuster and author Ms. Ruth Ware for this Advanced Readers Copy.

Absolutely Delicious!
This is a thrilling and compelling story that I binge read!
From the beginning to the last page I was riveted under my reading blanket! I HAD to keep reading!

It's the story of a young woman, "Rowan", who answers a job advert for a live-in Nanny. A Nanny NEEDED, most urgently, for a family with 4 children located in a remote area in Scotland. The house is quite special too...an old Victorian home with numerous modern upgrades and few old skeletons in the closets.
The story is genius in that it is told as a "letter" written to a solicitor requesting help for a crime that wasn't committed....?

Exciting! Very visual! A complete rollercoaster ride without a theme park ticket!

Thank you to Net Galley and Simon and Schuster Canada for an ARC of The Turn of the Key by Ruth Ware.
4* The newest book from Ruth Ware is sure to be the one you see everyone reading this summer!
Who doesn’t love a good mystery with a creepy old mansion, a poison garden, ghosts and a murder to solve? The story unfolds in letters Rowan, the main character, writes to a solicitor from prison. She has been charged with murder. I was hooked from the start and devoured this book.

I enjoyed reading this book. It had a good story to it. I liked the variety of characters in it. I read the previous book by this author and liked it too. This book like the last one was a well written book.

The Turn of the Key by Ruth Ware is another masterfully crafted tale of suspense and palpable tension from an author who is, deservedly, drawing comparisons to the brilliant Agatha Christie. Ms Ware has become a must read author for me, and her latest, highly anticipated, offering does not disappoint in any way, shape, or form. This is a chillingly addictive read from the very first page.

Rowan Caine is in prison for a murder that she claims she did not commit. Through a series of letters addressed to a 'Mr Wrexham', a solicitor whose services Rowan is attempting to engage, we learn the story of Rowan's employment at Heatherbrae House in Scotland, the home of the Elincourt family. Rowan has accepted a nanny position with the family, but things are amiss from the very start, and a sense of unease takes hold almost immediately. The house holds a plethora of secrets, and not everyone is who they seem. If Rowan is indeed innocent of the crime for which she is accused, who, in fact, committed murder at the ominous and haunting Heatherbrae House?

This is a twisty tale that had me questioning everything, and everyone, from the start. A well-executed and compelling mystery, this is Ruth Ware at her very best. Recommended.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Simon & Schuster Canada for this wonderful ARC.
