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...
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.

And when Rowan Caine arrives at Heatherbrae House, she is smitten—by the luxurious "smart" home fitted out wit...
I think this may be your best yet, Ruth Ware! ‘The Turn of The Key’ ticks off all the boxes necessary to make this the perfect mystery: a protagonist who may well be going to prison for murder, an old house in Scotland that seems to be haunted but is also a marvel to be in, one that has a history ...
