When Rowan stumbles across the advert, it seems too good to be true: a live-in nanny position for a picture-perfect family in a luxurious ‘smart’ home paying a staggeringly generous salary! Rowan isn’t even looking for a job but the opportunity seems too good to pass up. What she doesn’t know is that she is stepping into a nightmare. One that will end with a child dead and herself in prison.While awaiting trial for murder, Rowan becomes desperate to tell her side of the story and decides to write to Mr Wrexham, a lawyer she hopes will represent her in court. What follows is Rowan’s spine-chilling recount of the build up of ominous events leading to her incarceration. She knows she’s made mistakes; she knows she hasn’t always told the truth, but she maintains, with ardent determination, that she did NOT kill that child. So who did?This book was so freaking creepy and by far Ware’s best book in my opinion. The storytelling was so spellbindingly atmospheric and eerie throughout, I questioned many a time whether this was in fact a ghost story rather than a mere thriller. There is certainly an air of gothic fiction to this tale which I resolutely adored and hope to read more of. While there were a few plot holes, the overall premise of this book was exceptional, making it a solid 5 ⭐️ read!

As always with Ruth Ware this was very craftily written, instilling a sense of place (the Scottish Highlands) that really got me. Loved all the characters, not just the main one, depicted in a vivid manner that helped navigate the narrative with great ease. And the author knows her tech, what with the “smart home” concept as a backdrop to the whole intrigue. The missing fifth star is attributed to the somewhat cryptic and vaguely unsatisfying ending.

So so so scary I couldn’t read it at nigh!!! A suspense novel that is an absolute page turner that you wont be able to put down.Ruth is a wonderful storyteller that really sets the mood for suspense.A completely unexpected twist at the end...
