\u201cIf you’ve never spent a long weekend devouring a Ruth Ware thriller on a hammock, this is the summer to start. Her fifth novel,\u00a0The Turn of the Key<\/em>, is set in the Scottish Highlands and is as compulsively readable as you would expect a Ware book to be.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWare\u2019s mastery of the traditional mystery merged with the twisty psychological thriller never fails to impress! While Ware is known for her sudden reversals, I promise you that you\u2019ll never see the end of\u00a0The Turn of the Key\u00a0<\/em>coming. Which means everyone needs to read it so we can talk about that ending.\u201d<\/p>\n
