Ruth Ware‘s New York Times-bestselling atmospheric thriller The Turn of the Key has featured in a CrimeReads article entitled ‘The Nanny Diaries: Six Creepy Novels Involving Childcare.’

In the article, which you can read in full here, Jason Rekulak writes:

“The title gives a not-so-subtle nod to Ware’s inspiration. This high-tech update on Henry James finds a nanny named Rowan taking a job in a mansion full of surveillance devices and smart-home technology. The interview brings plenty of warning signs (the last few nannies have abruptly quit; one of the children sobs “it’s not safe here…”) but Rowan takes the job, anyway. Is it any wonder things start going bump in the night?”

The Turn of the Key is out now. Grab your UK copy here and your US copy here.
