Review: The Turn of the Key

The Turn of the Key by Ruth Ware
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first Ruth Ware book I have read. I won this hardcover through a Goodreads giveaway and must admit it wasnt what I thought. From the beginning I found it hard to put this book down. A young woman, Rowan, who takes a job as a nanny to 3 children in what I describe as a castle in the Scottish Highlands.

But this house is different. It has a sordid history, people died there. It's old but equipped with the latest technology. A house voice activated and not so perfect. The story is told by Rowan writing a lawyer for help. You see she is in jail awaiting trial for murder. And so we hear her story. She didnt do it, but then that means the killer is still out there.

But her story is filled with secrets and from the beginning of the book we need to find out just who Rowan is and her part in this suspenseful tale. I will definitely be reading her other books.
