*Erin Kelly*
Ware tells a cracking tale and, as in her breakout novel In a Dark,
Dark Wood, the house itself plays a hugely menacing part in
proceedings.

An ingenious suspense narrative...Ware pulls out a stunner on the
penultimate page that radically alters how we interpret everything
that’s come before. I daresay even Henry James would be
impressed.
*Washington Post*
A ghost story for the twenty-first century, a propulsive gothic
thriller with characters you’ll really care about. With this book,
Ruth Ware proves she’s the true heir to Wilkie Collins. Creepy,
engrossing, and oh-so-hard to put down
*JP Delaney*
Ruth Ware just gets better and better. The Turn of the Key is her
most compelling and addictive to date; I read this in a two sitting
frenzy, barely able to turn the pages fast enough.
*Lisa Jewell, author of The Family Upstairs*
Diabolically clever. Twisty and creepy, THE TURN OF THE KEY is Ruth
Ware's best book yet. Read with a blanket nearby, because you will
get shivers up your spine
The Turn of the Key is a brilliantly crafted, chilling suspense
thriller. Clues are seeded through the tale like poisonous plants
that you only recognise when it's far too late. Trust no one in
this novel except Ruth Ware – she has come up with a totally
compelling tale once again
*Jane Casey*
A masterclass in tension!
*Sarah Pinborough*
The Turn of the Key is a delicious read — a sympathetic but
fallible narrator is accused of a terrible crime. The clever
unfolding of her story will hold you captive till the brilliant
ending. Vintage Ruth Ware
