The Turn of the Key by Ruth Ware

The Turn of the Key The Turn of the Key by Ruth Ware. Scout Press, Simon & Schuster, 2019.    Rowan Caine has made some poor decisions and needs to find a place to be less visable than she has been. She sees an ad for a nanny at a huge Scottish estate and jumps at the job even if it means not being quite honest to get it. The children appear lovely, the home is a technological wonder. Both parents work long hours and travel extensively. Told mainly in a series of letters to a lawyer, it soon appears that little has gone right for Rowan and a child is dead. No one, Rowan, Jack the handsome handyman, or the children seem to be telling the whole truth. Nothing is as it seems and readers will be guessing at this who done it up until the very end.
