As Caine takes up her position, the mysteries and secrets of Heatherbrae and its inhabitants slowly come to light in a tale that ends with the death of one of the children and Caine on trial for murder. And for some reason the oldest child, Maddie, seems to have a personal and violent grudge against Caine from the moment she arrives. The home and the grounds have a dark past that no one is quite willing to talk about. Caine is fifth in a steady stream of nannies who have gone just as quickly as they have come in the last few years. The best part? An extremely, almost suspiciously generous paycheck at the end of the year.īut things aren’t all that they seem at the beautiful Heatherbrae estate. She isn’t even looking for a new job when she stumbles upon an ad for what could be the perfect gig: nannying for three children in a beautiful mansion in the Scottish highlands. The Turn of the Key follows the story of Rowan Caine, a 30-something child care worker living in London. I’ve read a few of her books before and fell in love with her style of suspense, character-building and slow build that crescendos into chaos at the very end. When Ruth Ware, a master of mystery writing and one of my personal favorite authors, released the newest edition to her collection of bestsellers – The Turn of the Key – I was thrilled. The New York Times didn’t ask my opinion is a regular column reviewing New York Times Best Sellers.
