But shortly after arrival, strange things begin marring this ideal facade, including random doorbell rings in the middle of the night, creepy doll head appearances and the discovery of past nannies fleeing after only a few days on the job. The job seems ideal at the outset (don’t they all?), as the pay is outrageously good, her room and bathroom are gorgeous and the children seem tolerable, not to mention the attractive groundskeeper and handyman Jack are a nice addition to the package. Westaway, Ware has returned to the gothic setting in an equally creepy story about a young woman named Rowan Caine, fresh into her nanny position for the Elincourts, a wealthy family living in a secluded and upscale ‘smart home’ in the Scottish highlands. I still get excited each and every time I hear she’s written another, and thank god she’s productive because we’ve got the fifth release from her to now enjoy: The Turn of the Key.įor those of you who enjoyed her last book, The Death of Mrs. I’ve had my minor complaints about them over the years, but it’s never enough to put me off reading her. My faithful readers will know all too well how much I love a Ruth Ware book.
