The Turn of the Key

📖 The Turn of the Key by Ruth Ware ⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 Told through a series of letters from a nanny to her lawyer, The Turn of the Key perfectly captures that eerie, slow-burn tension Ruth Ware is known for. The smart house setting in the Scottish Highlands adds a modern gothic twist, blending old-school suspense with the creepiness of constant surveillance. I loved the letter format and thought it made the story feel personal and confessional, but the pacing dragged a bit in parts. The last few chapters completely hooked me, with twists I didn’t see coming. A chilling and atmospheric read that’s perfect for fans of psychological thrillers with a subtle spook factor.
