The Turn of The Key- Ruth Ware

Spellbinding. This one is going to leave me with a serious book-hangover.  Ware’s suspenseful writing immediately envelops you from the first page. 

Rowan is in jail for the murder of a child. A murder, she claims, she didn’t commit. With a trial fast approaching, she desperately starts penning a well-renowned lawyer imploring him to believe her story…. 

Rowan had eagerly taken on position as nanny to two little girls, a toddler, and a rebellious teen at the picturesque Heatherbrae estate. Little did she know that this smart house under the guise of a Victorian mansion was full of dark secrets from a tragic past. Left alone with the girls straightaway, Rowan quickly learned that she had got caught smack dab in the middle of something very, very wrong. 

Will explaining the events that transpired serve as proof of her innocence or will she further dig her own grave? 

This is a book you HAVE to finish. You have to know what happens and how it happened and why. And so you stay up til 4 in the morning binging away looking for answers. At least, I did. If you’re looking to be totally engrossed in a tale of deception, mystery, murder, and overall haunting proportions, The Turn of the Key will quench your thirst.
