The Washington Post has included Ruth Ware‘s The Turn of the Key in their round-up of “The best thrillers and mysteries of 2019.”

“Ruth Ware’s latest pays homage to Henry James’s The Turn of the Screw while slyly updating it. Set in an old mansion that’s been renovated into a ‘smart house,’ the book turns the building — and its thick assortment of blinking surveillance cameras, talking refrigerators, embedded phone and speaker systems — into its own nerve-shattering character.” See the full list here.
