It's been years since I have read Henry James' Turn of the Screw, the ghost story written in 1898 about a governess working at a remote country home taking care of some very creepy children. Ruth Ware gives the proper respect to the inspiration for her 2019 novel, The Turn of the Key, but adds a mod...
Not as riveting as The Turn of the Key, but quite decent. Once again I enjoyed Imogen Church's narration, although her male characters tend to blend into one another and her version of the male voice isn't the most convincing to begin with. In terms of plausibility the story isn't very high up there...
There is something about this book that reminds me of an Agatha Christie plot. Days after she is the victim of a home invasion, a reporter's assignment leads her onto a cruise aboard an exclusive, mall luxury cruise ship. She briefly encounters the woman in cabin 10. but later hears a cry and a spla...
Ruth Ware takes the readers to a isolated manor where nothing is what it seems: All she was looking for a change when she stumbles across a nannying add that seems too good to be true; the money, the location though a bit isolated is beautiful and the house has been completely renovated and has bec...
If this review was just for the audio narrator, I would have given Imogen Church five stars. Her stellar delivery brings life to the Gothic aspects of the book and had me so freaked out that at some point I actually wondered whether this was a horror novel instead of a regular mystery/thriller. The ...
I listened to this book and what surprised me the most was that I didn’t think this book was a creepy or mysterious as I thought it would be. I was hoping for a good suspenseful story to listen to but I didn’t find that. I really enjoyed the story but I didn’t find it suspenseful, it was more action...
This was compulsively readable and probably would have been a four star read for me, but for the fact that the identity of the guilty party was so painfully obvious.At least it was to me, at any rate. But still, I did enjoy reading it, and am looking forward to reading more of this author's work.

Ruth Ware has just shot right up my list of go-to authors after reading this one. I loved it! I wanted to read something suspenseful, but I also wanted all the other elements that make a book great, like atmosphere, setting, characters and it was all there. Twenty-six year old Nora receives an e-m...
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. And when Rowan Caine arrives at Heatherbrae House, she is smitten—by the luxurious "smart" home fitted out wit...
