“An excellent suspense writer…Brava, Ruth Ware. I bet even Henry James would be impressed.” (Maureen Corrigan, author of So We Read On)

“This suitably twisty Turn of the Screw update finds the Woman in Cabin 10 author in her creepiest mode, unleashing a shocking tale of murder and deception.” (Weekly entertainment)

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Lie Game and The Death of Mrs. Westaway comes this thrilling novel that explores the dark side of technology.

When she came across the ad, she was looking for something completely different.

But it seemed like an opportunity too good to miss – a live nanny job, with surprisingly good pay. And when Rowan Caine arrived at Heatherbrae House, she was captivated – by the luxurious “smart” home equipped with all modern conveniences, by the beautiful Scottish Highlands and by her picture-perfect family. This.

What she doesn’t know is that she is entering a nightmare – the nightmare will end with the death of a child and herself in prison awaiting trial for murder.

Writing to her attorney from prison, she struggles to explain the unraveling events that led to her incarceration. It’s not just constant surveillance from indoor cameras, or glitchy technology that wakes the whole family up with loud music or lights out at the worst possible time. It wasn’t just the girls, who turned out to be a far cry from the immaculately behaved children she met during the interview. That’s not even how she was left alone for weeks on end, with no adults around except the mysterious craftsman.

That’s everything.

She knows she made a mistake. She admitted that she lied to get the post and that her behavior towards the kids wasn’t always ideal. She’s not innocent, by all means. But, she insists, she’s not guilty – at least not murder – but someone is. That means someone else is.

Full of mesmerizing menace and told in Ruth Ware’s signature suspense style, The Turn of the Key is an anti-pause thriller from the Agatha Christie of our time.

This book was written as a letter to the lawyer of a prisoner awaiting trial. The narrator is a nanny who is in prison for allegedly killing one of the young children in her care.

The letter tells the story of how this narrator was happily working at a London nursery until she saw an advertisement for a direct job as a nanny. This job will be to take care of four children on a large plot of land, with exceptionally good remuneration. Although she wasn’t really looking for a new job, she applied right away. Who won’t? Before the interview, she was warned that some of the nannies ended up leaving quickly because of rumors that the house was haunted.
