ADULT FICTION

“The Turn of the Key” by Ruth Ware: 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 nanny post with a staggeringly generous salary. When Rowan Caine arrives at Heatherbrae House, she is smitten — by the luxurious “smart” home fitted out with all the modern conveniences, by the beautiful Scottish Highlands, and by this 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 herself in prison awaiting trial for murder. Full of spellbinding menace and told in Ruth Ware’s signature suspenseful style, this book from the Agatha Christie of our time is a thriller you won’t be able to put down.
