On a day that begins like any other, Hal receives a mysterious letter bequeathing her a substantial inheritance. She realizes very quickly that the letter was sent to the wrong person - but also that the cold-reading skills she's honed as a tarot card reader might help her claim the money. Soon, Hal finds herself at the funeral of the deceased...where it dawns on her that there is something very, very wrong about this strange situation and the inheritance at the center of it. Full of spellbinding menace and told in Ruth Ware's signature suspenseful style, an addictive thriller.

Lo Blacklock, a journalist who writes for a travel magazine, has just been given the assignment of a lifetime: a week on a luxury cruise with only a handful of cabins.

At first Lo's stay is nothing but pleasant: The cabins are plush, the dinner parties are sparkling, and the guests are elegant. But as the week wears on, frigid winds whip the deck, and gray skies fall.

She was covered from head to toe in expensive wool and plaid, the sort of stuff one saw at the Burberry boutique in Harrods. She carried a leather bookbag rather than a nylon backpack. Her patent leather ballet slippers were glossy and bright. She was proper, the new girl, modest. But there was something else about her.... At an exclusive private school in Switzerland, mystery surrounds the identity of the beautiful raven-haired girl who arrives each morning in a motorcade fit for a head of state. She is said to be the daughter of a wealthy international businessman.

Publisher's Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
I know you don’t know me, but you have to help me. I didn’t kill anyone.
When Rowan stumbles across the advert, it seems like too good an opportunity to miss: a live-in nanny position, with a staggeringly generous salary. And when she arrives at Heatherbrae House, she is smitten by the luxurious ‘smart’ home fitted out with all 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 her in a cell awaiting trial for murder.
She knows she’s made mistakes. But she’s not guilty - at least not of murder. Which means someone else is....
Full of spellbinding menace, The Turn of the Key is a gripping modern-day haunted house novel.
Preorder this addictive new psychological thriller from Sunday Times best-selling author Ruth Ware today.

Sorry not for me
I found this to be trite and rather rubbish. I loved Ruth Ware’s The Death of Mrs Westaway, it had atmosphere and wonderful characters this sadly had neither. Yes there was a twist but out of the blue and not believable.

Brilliant Book
When I see a book that is read by Imogen Church, I know I am in for a book that cant be put down!
I have had books written by Ruth Ware before but I couldn't stop listening to this book, it was a very good story, kept me guessing what the end would be, and very surprised when it was revealed , didn't see that coming!!and brilliantly read by Imogen, as always, she is my favourite narrator, always amazes me how she puts so much into reading a book,, always keeps one interested in what she reads.
Ready now to download the next book by Ruth, if this book is anything to go by, I wont be disappointed!

Ghost story ?
My first read/listen by Ruth Ware. I was not overly taken with the story, partly because is was so ludicrously improbable, especially when the plot was unravelled towards the end.
If you like being scared, it had its old fashioned edge-of-the-seat scary moments, not badly written.
It was hard to like the main character, and she was her own worst enemy. Losers don't make for good heroines.

The complete package
This is everything you'd look for in an audio book. The plot is well constructed, not overly complex but has its really great moments. The characters all stand out for us and are well defined. The narration is excellent. The narrator has taken the time to read the book, got to know the book and puts in a great performance on every line.
The only one slightly irritating thing is a slight overdose of the upper middle classes. We have many uses of the word "supper" not dinner. For some reason, for me this word smacks of people who've never done a proper day's work in their lives.
Anyway, I digress. This book is great. If you want to listen in large doses then you won't be able to stop. For a short bedtime listen then you won't find it a problem to follow the story over a period of several weeks or months.
This really is as close to a perfect audio book as I've ever found. I really like the other Ruth Ware stories as well.

Can't tell you how incredible this book is
The story, the narration, the whole package - this is absolutely one of the very best audio books I have listened to (and I listen to a great deal of books). No need to hesitate, buy this immediately and enjoy.

That was shocking!
I have formulated a lot of theories while listening to this one and I can't really choose, up to the last hour, which would be right. But yeah, it had me guessing throughout and that was great!

don't bother!
this book was long and drawn out all leading up to such a dull unimaginative ending! the only saving grace was the narrator

Enjoyed it
I liked it but thought the ending was a bit....predictable and kind of deflating. I liked the twists and turns and kept me reading, but could have had a better ending.
