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.

When narrator goes Godmode.

I had to stop and search narrator's name. Man, she's so good at it. Her voice acting is perfect.

Gripping

A book which you would want to finish as quickly as you can. Multiple loose ends and the last 2 chapters seemed to have been written in hurry. I personally couldn't cope up with such mismatch of pace between the chapters.

ending was anticlimatic

amazing narration and voice over. the story was best in the middle part but the beginning was too slow while the ending was just .... plain, all that buildup for nothing
