\nBook Summary:
\nWhen she stumbles across the ad\, she&rsquo\;s looking for something el se completely. But it seems like too good an opportunity to miss&mdash\;a live-in nannying post\, with a staggeringly generous salary. And when Rowa n Caine arrives at Heatherbrae House\, she is smitten&mdash\;by the luxuri ous &ldquo\;smart&rdquo\; home fitted out with all modern conveniences\, b y the beautiful Scottish Highlands\, and by this picture-perfect family.\n
What she doesn&rsquo\;t know is that she&rsquo\;s stepping into a n ightmare&mdash\;one that will end with a child dead and herself in prison awaiting trial for murder.
\nWriting to her lawyer from prison\, she struggles to explain the unravelling events that led to her incarceration . It wasn&rsquo\;t just the constant surveillance from the cameras install ed around the house\, or the malfunctioning technology that woke the house hold with booming music\, or turned the lights off at the worst possible t ime. It wasn&rsquo\;t just the girls\, who turned out to be a far cry from the immaculately behaved model children she met at her interview. It wasn &rsquo\;t even the way she was left alone for weeks at a time\, with no ad ults around apart from the enigmatic handyman\, Jack Grant.
\nIt was everything.
\nShe knows she&rsquo\;s made mistakes. She admits that she lied to obtain the post\, and that her behavior toward the children w asn&rsquo\;t always ideal. She&rsquo\;s not innocent\, by any means. But\, she maintains\, she&rsquo\;s not guilty&mdash\;at least not of murder. Wh ich means someone else is.
\nFull of spellbinding menace and told in Ruth Ware&rsquo\;s signature suspenseful style\, \;The Turn of the Ke y \;is an unputdownable thriller from the Agatha Christie of our time.
