And when Rowan Caine arrives at Heatherbrae House she is smitten—by the luxurious “smart” home fitted out with all modern conveniences by the beautiful Scottish Highlands and by this picture-perfect family. What she doesnt know is that shes stepping into a nightmare—one that will end with a child dead and herself in prison awaiting trial for murder. Writing to her lawyer from prison she struggles to explain the events that led to her incarceration. It wasnt just the constant surveillance from the homes cameras or the malfunctioning technology that woke the household with booming music or turned the lights off at the worst possible time. It wasnt just the girls who turned out to be a far cry from the immaculately behaved model children she met at her interview. It wasnt even the way she was left alone for weeks at a time with no adults around apart from the enigmatic handyman. It was everything. She knows shes made mistakes. She admits that she lied to obtain the post and that her behavior toward the children wasnt always ideal. Shes not innoent by any means. But she maintains shes not guilty—at least not of murder—but somebody is. Full of spellbinding menace and told in Ruth Wares signature suspenseful style The Turn of the Key is an unputdownable thriller from the Agatha Christie of our time.(less)
