THE TURN OF THE KEY by Ruth Ware

THE TURN OF THE KEY by Ruth Ware

Ruth Ware is like the Toyota Camry of the gothic mystery genre - when you pick up one of her books, you know you're going to get a reliable, just-what-I-needed-and-nothing-more, gold ol' mystery. The Turn of the Key was no exception to this, and in fact, was probably my favorite of hers to-date. A 'who dunnit', paired with a VERY creepy 'there are ghosts in my attic' angle, told entirely through letters to our main character's solicitor while she is in jail for MURDER (don't know who has died), I couldn't stop reading to figure out what the heck was going on.

There were so many creepy elements to this book that I woke up twice in the middle of the night to check to see if my door was locked (stop reading so late at night, Ashley). It wasn't scary by any means, just very eerie and, in true Ruth fashion, unexpected at every twist and turn. Highly recommend!
