Rowan starts hearing footsteps in the middle of the night and becomes convinced that there is someone living above her– especially since she has a mysterious locked door in her room. However Rowan soon learns that nothing is perfect and that her new job may be too good to be true. A live position in a fancy house seems worlds away from her work in the nursery room.

Rowan can’t believe her luck when she is invited to an interview, nevermind when she gets the job.

The Turn of the Key follows Rowan, a nanny/nursery worker who comes across the job oppurtunity of a lifetime- a live in nanny position for a rich couple in rural Scotland, paying over £50,000 per year. Basically, I was going in more or less blind, but I have enjoyed all of Ware’s books so far and had no doubt that I would also love this one too. Regarding Ware’s latest novel The Turn of the Key I actually hadn’t read up much on the plot- knowing only that it was about a nanny who is accused of murdering one of the children she is looking after. Over the last year or so I have become such a massive fan of Ruth Ware and her books and I now eagerly await her new releases. The problem? All passengers remain accounted for and so, the ship sails on as if nothing has happened, despite Lo's desperate attempts to convey that something (or someone) has gone terribly, terribly wrong.Her dream job will become her worst nightmare. But as the week wears on, frigid winds whip the deck, gray skies fall, and Lo witnesses what she can only describe as a dark and terrifying nightmare: a woman being thrown overboard. At first, Lo's stay is nothing but pleasant: the cabins are plush, the dinner parties are sparkling, and the guests are elegant. The sky is clear, the waters calm, and the veneered, select guests jovial as the exclusive cruise ship, the Aurora, begins her voyage in the picturesque North Sea. This week our book is The Woman in Cabin 10 by Ruth Wareĭescription from Goodreads - Lo Blacklock, a journalist who writes for a travel magazine, has just been given the assignment of a lifetime: a week on a luxury cruise with only a handful of cabins.

You can add thoughts and opinions and whether you would recommend it or not. Each Monday we'll post a different book from BOTM past. BOTM has compiled quite a collection of books over the years.
