The Turn of the Key / Ruth Ware, 336 pp., read by Imogen Church
Ruth Ware's audiobooks became my go-to listen through the pandemic winter. Each title is a standalone, but the similarities among the titles and the consistent solid reading by Church make them feel almost like a series.
In each we have a young woman with a past full of secrets, many of which remain hidden from the reader until late in the narrative. These main characters are launched into danger quickly (and plausibly) by characters with secrets more nefarious than their own. A nice variety of settings, careful plotting, and attention to loose ends and the tying up thereof deliver diverting listens.
The Turn of the Key features Rowan and an exciting new nanny job in a remote Scottish manor tricked out with the latest in smarthome tech. The nearest neighbors are miles away, the husband's got a sketchy demeanor, and with cameras, intercoms, automatic locks and lighting fit for Ft. Knox, what could possibly go wrong?
