The Turn of the Key by Ruth WareMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
This is one of those where the accused writes a letter explaining her innocence and you keep thinking, "What the hell?" and "Are you stupid?" as you listen to the explanation of the crime.
As a nanny, this woman makes all kinds of mistakes--manhandles the kids, leaves them alone for too long, and thinks that bribery is a way to get children to do things. She also doesn't understand technology, but she nannies in a house with a lot of it. Why the heck wouldn't she read the book of directions that the parents left for her? And why did she always "wake up disoriented" every time she slept?
Too many things that didn't make this plausible. I did want to finish to see what would happen so I had to finish the book.
