The Turn of the Key by Ruth Ware: A former nanny is writing to a solicitor from prison after being accused of murdering one of her charges. She is writing out of desperation. She is writing in the hopes that someone will listen to her story, so she can finally tell the truth about what she knows. So begins our tale narrated through Rowan's letters to Mr. Wrexham as she goes into detail about what led up to the night she found the young Elincourt girl dead. After losing several nannies abruptly the Elincourt family needed to find a replacement fast. During their first conversation Sandra Elincourt informs Rowan that the high salary comes with a bit of a warning - the last few nannies left due to a fear that the house might be haunted. Being a non-believer, Rowan immediately shook off the concerns Sandra was sharing and headed north to Scotland something Rowan would regret doing for the rest of her life. I had such high hopes for this one. The build up! The suspense! I had no idea where this was going and sad to say I wish it had gone in another direction. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed the book but the ended left something to be desired. Fans of Ruth Ware will enjoy her masterful way of pulling you on a twisty journey. Have you read this?
