The Turn of the Key by Ruth Ware
5.0

Ive been a fan of Ruth Ware's for awhile so when I saw she had a new release I knew I had to get my hands on a copy. True to her work The Turn Of The Key did not dissappoint and dare I say is her best novel so far!
I loved how the majority of the book is Rowan writing to Mr.Wrexham, a solicitor, that she is trying to get to prove her innocence in court. Rowan has claimed her innocence since the first police involvement and doesn't understand why no one believes her. I wasn't sure at first how the book was going to go being letters to Mr. Wrexham but it was very well executed. The story was able to unravel at a steady pace so you understood what had occurred leading up to the death. The ending is a few letters from others to Rowan while she's in prison. The story is a hauntingly chilling one that had me on the edge of my seat wondering what exactly was happening that ultimately led to the death of the child. It had a shocking ending that I didn't really see coming!
This is another book that I highly suggest you add to your summer reading list! A fast paced summer read that I devoured in day!

I would like to thank Simon and Schuster Canada, netgalley for my #gifted copy in exchange for an honest review.
