The Turn of the Key

leeloo_dallas shared a tip "…page turner…I totally sinked in the book and was sooo anxious to find out what is happening…but the ending, please !! I was disappointed."

merry_4015 shared a tip "This is a good suspense thriller. Starts out as the proverbial nanny begins a new job for a family in an old Scottish Victorian house…is it a ghost story or just a dysfunctional family???"

TrustyJ shared a tip "The books stays interesting and the twists were very unexpected and hard to predict. Although the biggest question gets answered, there are many left to our imaginations. There could easily be a continued follow up book and perhaps we may get one."

chena shared a tip "woman searches for an upgrade in her career finds the perfect nanny job she cannot refuse watching 3 children with a rich family in a beautiful home. however, at every passing day she discovers there may be much more than what she signed up for with talk of past nannies fleeing and dark sounds that keep her up at night. in what seems like a supernatural suspense thriller you will never guess the little twist this ending gives you. this was a must read i couldn't wait to read the ending."

lilly_cluff shared a tip "She seems very needy and demanding and it gave me a headache. I could barely get through even the first 20 pages before closing it."

brandy_schluterman shared a tip "Started off slow, didn’t think I would get through it. It definitely got better and was a page turner! I did not expect the ending. Great book!"

zamora_miller shared a tip "WOAH?! I recently finished this book and I felt like I was spiraling with the protagonist; stunning writing and I was on the edge of my seat towards the end… THE ENDING-"

dee_1157 shared a tip "Another fantastic read by Ruth Ware. This is yet another book that had me on the edge of my seat, what happens next, could it possibly be, etc., questions that just HAD to be answered ASAP! All of my guesses were incorrect, but it just made this read so much better. One of the best books I’ve ever read by far."

jennifer_johnston_7706 shared a tip "This is Ruth Ware’s version or take off of “Turn of the screw” by Henry James. I like ware’s novel much better because other easy to read writing style. Henry James is good but his style is wordy and cumbersome! This novel has a lot of twists and turns!"

joiwormish shared a tip "This had all these layers of mini explosions of revelations. Slightly mulling over the ending but may be it is fitting for this story. I love how the author uses the atmosphere so well with her story telling"

courtney_adams_6658 shared a tip "I loved this !! Ruth ware has been on my top list lately and this one took the cake for me- thrilling in a slow burn way but the slowness is still incredibly captivating . The story telling style was different than I has expected and you just need to keep reading to see what happens !! Ending was a bit confusing but overall 10/10 for me!!"

katie_kult shared a tip "Rating: 5/10. Pretty good and a quick read but it was a lil too creepy for me. The live in nanny hears ghosts in the house and being a nanny myself it freaked me out. But overall the plot was interesting."

brittani_fry shared a tip "This has been my only 5 star read of the entire year. I was intrigued from page 1. I kept thinking I knew what was going on and how it was going to end. But it wasn’t what I expected at all. The writing style as a letter was absolutely brilliant."

colleen_bright_pavl shared a tip "How do you give that much detail to a story and then end it in 5 minutes??? Didn’t tie up all the loose questions for me. Did Rachael stand trial? Convicted??? More info needed."

Shilyre shared a tip "What I love about Ruth Ware is that her stories tell a psychological thriller that even if you guess the who done it you will never guess the twist"

john_martin_4836 shared a tip "I’ve read all of Ruth Ware’s novels and am half way through The Turn of the Key. She’s an amazing author with original story lines. She’s definitely hooked me on this one too."

ann_johnson_5435 shared a tip "This was the first book I read by Ruth Ware, and I plan on reading more from her! "The Turn of the Key" was such an amazing book. There were so many clues that added up to multiple twists, it made me gasp! Ruth Ware really makes you feel like a detective, trying to figure out why this happened or what will happen next. I must admit that the ending was a little dissapointing, since there were so many unanswered questions. However, this book was absolutely amazing, and I definitely recommend you read it!"

cameryn_beaty-burne shared a tip "This has to be my all time favorite murder mystery. This novel is full of supernatural suspense, and deeps secrets. And has an ending you will never expect. This book is definitely worth the read"

mandy_roberts shared a tip "This book is great! A real page turner. Leaves you guessing all the way through. Also leaves you with questions but I would totally read again"

kristina_emery shared a tip "It's so good with an ending you'll never guess! Took about 30 pages to really get into it and then couldn't put it down! Finished in two days!!!"

justine_w shared a tip "Read this book in less than a day. I enjoyed the way it was written. Some things definitely came as a surprise. Didn't see that ending coming. Good, quick, entertaining read."

ashley_tobin_1514 shared a tip "Recently read Riley Sager's new book The House Across the Lake, couldn't put it down. Just started Ruth Ware's newest The IT Girl, so far it's really good!"

mccandid shared a tip "The best of Ruth Ware, full of twists until the last page. If you use audible, Imogen Church's narration makes for an easy listen"

maggie_robinson shared a tip "Ruth Ware is becoming a “one click” author for me very very quickly. I read this book last year and have “One by One” on deck for a summer read (it’s set in the snowy alps) Purchased this book based on conversations in the #popsugarchallenge group on FB and the reviews on Book Of The Month."

angie_haug shared a tip "Just finished this book. It was such a great read! I was a little hesitant when I first started reading it because I was hoping it wasn’t just going to be about a ghost in the end but the twists were good and I was surprised with the ending. I definitely recommend it."

rayven_h shared a tip "The ending had me like “what?!” Pulls you in to see what is going to happen , also makes you believe you Never want to take up a nanny’s job, ever!"

paula_hodgins shared a tip "There was a mild frustration that I had with it towards the end, but it was small enough and inconsequential enough that I could put it aside without it damaging the rest of the story for me. Other than that, it kept me on edge with tension the whole way through, and it was several days after before I could sleep without dreaming heavily about it!"

corey_bondoc shared a tip "I have read a few Ruth Ware novels, and I feel like this is her best one. I would read it before going to bed. Let's just say I was a little scared to go to sleep."

ashley_caton shared a tip "This book keeps you on your toes untill the last page!! I now am a huge fan of Ruth's. The woman in cabin ten was awesome as well#psychological #suspense #thrillers"

eman_khatab shared a tip "I enjoyed so much The Sun down MOTEL and Broken Girls by Simon St. James and The Sanatorium by Sarah Pearse but this one read it as thriller not horror and you well enjoy it 😀. How about you?"

mikella_schiller shared a tip "This is one of those books I want to keep to myself because it was just that good!! Ominous in a way unlike any of Ware’s other works that will take you on a fantastic breathless race to the end."

tricia_crossley shared a tip "Her latest, One by One was fantastic too! I like to listen to the audio version through my library or on Amazon’s sister site, Audible. Driving or cleaning out the dishwasher is so less tedious with a good listen! Enjoy."

sophia_colangelo shared a tip "Overall it was good- although it was a bit of a tough read. It was very detailed with backstory, which is the point, but so much of it was unnecessary I felt like. Don’t get me wrong, the POV is Rowan writing a letter, so obviously it’s going to be detailed in order to explain everything to Mr. Wrexham so he will understand her and know she isn’t lying, but with all of that, I would expect a more eventful ending. The ending kind of just happened, and I was just waiting for more. I suggest though!"
