~ Trade Paperback

When she stumbles across the ad, she’s looking for something else completely, but it seems like too good an opportunity to miss: a live-in nannying post, with a staggeringly generous salary.  What she doesn’t know is that she’s stepping into a nightmare, one that will end with a child dead and herself in prison awaiting trial for murder . . . 

Full of spellbinding menace and told in Ruth Ware's signature suspenseful style, The Turn of the Key is an unputdownable thriller from the Agatha Christie of our time.

"Ware is a master at signaling the presence of evil at the most mundane moments, pulling out a stunner on the penultimate page that radically alters how we interpret everything that’s come before." -- The Washington Post
