This is my third book by the author so by this point I know she's great at creating an atmosphere, a creepy ambiance.


New nanny working for a family living in a remote house in Scotland, Past nannies leaving after the house seems haunted with its dark history and secrets, . . you get it.

It was interesting, even a bit unique since the main character wasn't likeable and that the format is through letters she's writing to a lawyer from prison since she's accused of murdering one of the child in her care.
. .

The ending was a bit lukewarm in my opinion but I can't wait to see how others feel about it all!

If you're looking for a quick read for the fall and have liked her other books, I would recommend.


Thank you Simon amp Schuster for this ARC! ive heard a lot of mixed things about ruth ware in the past, but honestly this was pretty solid.
maybe its time i try more of her books lol, Gothic, creepy, a house with a hideous history, . . OMG yes please!! This was hands down my favorite book by Ruth Ware! All the for this one! I have read all her books except The Death of Mrs.
Westaway which is sitting here in my bookcase waiting to be read, Up until this point In a Dark Dark Wood was my favorite, but wow oh wow I loved this book,

Four nannies in a year, umm okay people that should be a sign that there are some real problems at the Heatherbrae House.
Granted the house has an extensive history, I mean don't all old homes That is what Rowan told herself when she applied for the job.
Okay Rowan, you just keep telling yourself that, Drawn in by the generous salary and the gorgeous home she decided to roll the dice and try out the job, even with the history of previous nannies not being able to cut it.
Were the the rumors true that the house was haunted Is that what caused them to leave so quickly Or was it the somewhat difficult children that they were entrusted to I began to wonder if it was Sandra and Bill Elincourt whom appeared to be a bit challenging to deal with in themselves.


I tell you what, there is no way I would have spent numerous nights in this house like Rowan did.
I was completely creeped out as nightfall hit each evening, Things were happening and they appeared to be supernatural, Given the history of this home, there is no doubt that is what would be running through my mind if I were staying there.
Add to it this "smart house" with all the amazing, yet creepy features, That would drive me mad in itself, If I were Rowan I would be concerned that my employers were watching my every move, meaning that someone else could be too.


I have read some reviews that said this was a slow start or slow moving book but not for me! I was sucked in from the very first page.
This was a really fast pace for me and I couldn't put it down, I read this late into the night, I am really looking forward to what Ware is going to come up with next, I read this with a group of fellow Traveling Sisters! It made for a fantastic group read,

Thank you so much to Gallery/Scout Press for this ARC I received via Edelweiss, I LOVED it!! Thanks you to Ruth Ware for another fantastic book!

Merged review: Turn of the Key by Ruth Ware is aGallery/Scout Press publication.


Ware is back on track in this tense tale of suspense!!

I have loved Ruth Ware since I read In a Dark, Dark Wood,

yet, I really struggled with her previous book.
I didnt lose my confidence in Ware, however, and eagerly jumped into this, her latest effort, with gusto and I was not disappointed!!

As the story opens it becomes clear that Rowan Caine, a former nanny, is sitting in prison accused of having killed a child in her care.
Through the letters Rowan has written to a prospective attorney, she explains how she came to be there, taking us all the way back to the moment she answered a classified ad for what Rowan would consider a dream job in her chosen field of childcare.
Rowan seems thrilled to be considered for such a great opportunity and is genuinely nervous and excited when she is given the job.


The technologically advanced smart home Rowan gets to live in is fancy and modern, especially the state of the art kitchen, but the enormous venom thrown at her by one of her charges, coupled with a host of strange noises and occurrences, keeps Rowan on edge day and night, turning her dream job into the stuff nightmares are made of

I think Wares most prominent asset, is her ability to quickly create a mood or atmosphere which sneakily draws readers into her wellconstructed web.
Once ensnared readers soon find themselves trapped, unable to escape until the very last sentence of the book has been read, This story is hypnotizing, and Ware kept me off guard from start to finish, And what a finish!!

While I had some suspicions, I was mostly caught off guard by the twists and although the ending is a bit ambiguous, I liked it!! I have my own theories, and others will have theirs, making this a fun book to discuss, debate and dissect.


The author is gifted at dropping clues and hiding little Easter eggs within the story, but I was so distracted by the mind games I didnt pick up on them until after Id finished reading the book.


Very, very sneaky and clever of Ms, Ware! Well done! I thoroughly enjoyed this one and of course am eagerly anticipating her next release! The Turn of the Key by Ruth Ware is my favorite thriller so far this year.
Ruth Ware, often referred to as the Agatha Christie of our time, has penned her best yet, Rowan, a childcare worker, unexpectedly comes across an online ad for a nanny position in Scotland, It's one of those opportunities that seems too good to be true: a job taking care of children in a hightech mansion in the Scottish Highlands with an income that can't be matched.
To her surprise, Rowan gets the position to care for four young girls, from toddler to teen, Before long, one of the children is killed and Rowan is imprisoned, charged with murder, What happened in such a short time In a letter written to a lawyer she hopes will defend her, she explains that the children she had met at the interview were not wellbehaved, as she had been led to believe.
The large house was monitored with cameras in every corner, with speakers turning on and off, day and night, She could not trust the estate handyman, the only other adult on site, And Rowan was left alone with the children during her first days there, The novel proceeds at a slow pace, with new clues dispersed here and there, leaving the reader wanting more, This is a novel for all mystery readers, especially those who want a little cringing with their reading, Thank you to Simon amp Schuster Canada and NetGalley for the eARC in exchange for an honest review, .
