Synopsis

IT WAS THE DREAM JOB. IT WOULD BECOME HER WORST NIGHTMARE. `So clever and original . . . from the first gripping page to the last shocking twist' ERIN KELLY, author of He Said/She Said When Rowan stumbles across the advert, it seems like too good an opportunity to miss: a live-in nanny position, with a very generous salary. And when she arrives at Heatherbrae House, she is smitten by the luxurious `smart' home fitted out with all modern conveniences by a picture-perfect family. What she doesn't know is that she's stepping into a nightmare - one that will end with a child dead and her in cell awaiting trial for murder. She knows she's made mistakes. But she's not guilty - at least not of murder. Which means someone else is... 'Will hold you captive until the brilliant ending' SHARI LAPENA, author of Someone We Know Full of chilling menace and sinister secrets, The Turn of the Key is a gripping modern-day haunted house novel that will keep you reading through the night. Everyone loves Ruth Ware's binge-worthy psychological thrillers: `The queen of creepy crime' Metro `Eerie and tense, this left me so spooked that I slept with the light on!' Prima `Powerfully atmospheric, unguessably twisty...I devoured it' Louise Candlish, bestselling author of Our House `Dark and dramatic...part murder mystery, part family drama, altogether riveting' A.J. Finn, author of The Woman in the Window 'Creepy, engrossing, and oh-so-hard to put down' JP DELANEY, author of The Girl Before `One of the best thriller writers around' Independent `Agatha Christie meets The Girl on the Train' The Sun `Dark, unsettling, brilliant' HEAT `Deliciously dark and spooky' Sunday Mirror

Media Reviews
So clever and original . . . Pure suspense, from the first gripping page to the last shocking twist -- Erin Kelly
Ware tells a cracking tale and, as in her breakout novel In a Dark, Dark Wood, the house itself plays a hugely menacing part in proceedings. * Guardian *

An ingenious suspense narrative...Ware pulls out a stunner on the penultimate page that radically alters how we interpret everything that's come before. I daresay even Henry James would be impressed. * Washington Post *
A ghost story for the twenty-first century, a propulsive gothic thriller with characters you'll really care about. With this book, Ruth Ware proves she's the true heir to Wilkie Collins. Creepy, engrossing, and oh-so-hard to put down -- JP Delaney
Diabolically clever. Twisty and creepy, THE TURN OF THE KEY is Ruth Ware's best book yet. Read with a blanket nearby, because you will get shivers up your spine -- Riley Sager
The Turn of the Key is a brilliantly crafted, chilling suspense thriller. Clues are seeded through the tale like poisonous plants that you only recognise when it's far too late. Trust no one in this novel except Ruth Ware - she has come up with a totally compelling tale once again
A masterclass in tension!
