We don't know which child has died but we do know that the child was in Rowan's care when she died and we also know that Rowan strongly refutes the notion that she is guilty. An account of what happened is narrated in retrospect by Rowan.Rowan takes a job as a nanny in a house in the remote Scottish highlands, caring for two small girls and a baby. There's also a teenage girl who's due back from boarding school in a week's time. Immediately Rowan takes up post the parents head off south on work business leaving her in charge of the household. The little girls are inexplicably hostile and frightening things keep happening- lights and music coming on in the middle of the night, footsteps coming from the roof space above Rowan's bedroom, etc, etc. Could these events be linked to the mysterious death of a child in the house years earlier and what is behind the mysterious locked door in Rowan's room? The author was hinting that there was ghostly activity but it seemed obvious to me that it was all being orchestrated by a human hand. That then raised the question of who was behind it all and why were they doing it? There were a few suspects and I had various theories - it was great fun to speculate!I felt that where this novel fell down was in the utter implausibility of the solution to the mystery. No spoilers here so I won't go into details. Suffice to say that this is an enjoyable tale provided the reader is willing to suspend a great deal of disbelief. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Page turned , kept me up all night *by K***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 3 April 2023* This truly was a great read from start to finish , strange noises, unexplained things happening but who's behind it all?. Thoroughly enjoyed this book and can't wait to read more from this author. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 stars *by A***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 15 December 2022* 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! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/91374405-the-turn-of-the-key-hardcover-6-aug-2019](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/91374405-the-turn-of-the-key-hardcover-6-aug-2019) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-10-05*
