One sunny afternoon, Lily chose to check out the strange and dirty attic of her grandmother's old house. The attic was a great place because it was full of secrets and valuable things that were just ready to be found. A warm, golden light filled the room as she climbed the creaky wooden steps. A ray of sunlight came in through the small window. It looked like I had stepped into a mystery, and the memory was mine. Lily's eyes lit up with excitement as she thought about the stories and experiences that were waiting outside these walls. Lily became more interested as she looked around at the old books, photos, and other things that reminded her of the past. Then she saw an old-looking box that was half hidden in the corner of the room by a dirty, worn-out cloth. Its dark wood frame has elaborate carvings that look like they show historical events. It looked like the chest had been closed for years, and there were secrets inside waiting to be found. Lily's heart was racing as she got closer to it, making her hands shake a little. With a light tug, she took off the cloth, which sent a puff of dust flying. Lily coughed lightly and felt her chest. She was desperate to find out what was inside, even though it was locked. She saw a small, perfectly shaped keyhole that looked like it was looking for its lost key. And the key was right next to the chest, like God put it there. It was almost hidden by dust on an old wooden table. This wasn't just any key. It stood out, had an odd shape, and was covered in marks that Lily couldn't figure out. Instead of letters and numbers, there were strange spinning designs that changed and moved around as she looked at them. It felt like the key was made of the night sky because it was cold and heavy in her hand. Its metal had a unique shine that wasn't like gold or silver. It was like something else. Lily was both scared and excited as she turned the box over and put the key in the lock. The lock had clicked open, as if it had been waiting for her the whole time, which caught her off guard. When she opened the shaky box lid, she found something even more valuable than money or jewelry: a doorway to adventures beyond her wildest dreams. Lily's strange trip began when she found a strange key in the closet of her grandmother. The key would open the door to amazing new adventures, tough challenges, and lessons in life. Chapter 2: The Main Door Lily had never been more interested and thrilled than she was when she held the strange key. When she left her grandmother's house on a warm day, her mind was full of all the things that could happen. She walked quickly through the town, eager to find anything that the key could open. The locals went about their daily lives without knowing about the exciting trip that was about to begin. Lily was walking down one of Hamlet's well-known streets when she saw an old door covered in ivy in a quiet area that she didn't usually go to. This door was different from the others because the wood was worn and old, as if it were telling stories from hundreds of years ago. As they sat between two big trees, the branches of one of the doors that many people had forgotten about cast shadows on the ground. Lily had been this way many times before, but now that she had the key in her pocket, the door seemed to be calling to her. As Lily got closer to the door, she had a strange feeling that was a mix of fear and wonder. At that moment, she saw the key start to shine with a soft, ghostly light. As she got closer, the glow got brighter, casting a strange light along her path that seemed to flicker and dance like the light from faraway stars. While holding the key in front of her, Lily was filled with joy and loved how beautiful it was. She took a deep breath and put the beautiful key into the handle of the old door. It felt like it was meant to happen at this exact moment. She turned the key slowly and heard the lock click open. The door creaked open, and a stunning scene came into view. Before Lily, there was a world beyond her wildest dreams: a huge, green forest full of colorful creatures. The tall, beautiful trees let the wind bring their mysterious whispers. There were flowers of every color on the floor, and their sweet smell filled the room. Lily was truly amazed by the creatures, though. These animals could talk, which was different from the animals she was used to. One of the deer bowed its head to say hello, and squirrels and birds chirped happily above. When Lily walked into the room, she was shocked and happy. It was a magical land where the impossible became possible. It was a beautiful, airy place. The key didn't just open an old door; it took her on a trip into a world where animals and trees talked.

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER “A superb suspense writer…Brava, Ruth Ware. I daresay even Henry James would be impressed.” —Maureen Corrigan, author of So We Read On “This appropriately twisty Turn of the Screw update finds the Woman in Cabin 10 author in her most menacing mode, unfurling a shocking saga of murder and deception.” —Entertainment Weekly From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Lying Game and The Death of Mrs. Westaway comes this thrilling novel that explores the dark side of technology. When she stumbles across the ad, she’s looking for something else completely. But it seems like too good an opportunity to miss—a live-in nannying post, with a staggeringly generous salary. And when Rowan Caine arrives at Heatherbrae House, she is smitten—by the luxurious “smart” home fitted out with all modern conveniences, by the beautiful Scottish Highlands, and by this picture-perfect family. What she doesn’t know is that she’s stepping into a nightmare—one that will end with a child dead and herself in prison awaiting trial for murder. Writing to her lawyer from prison, she struggles to explain the events that led to her incarceration. It wasn’t just the constant surveillance from the home’s cameras, or the malfunctioning technology that woke the household with booming music, or turned the lights off at the worst possible time. It wasn’t just the girls, who turned out to be a far cry from the immaculately behaved model children she met at her interview. It wasn’t even the way she was left alone for weeks at a time, with no adults around apart from the enigmatic handyman. It was everything. She knows she’s made mistakes. She admits that she lied to obtain the post, and that her behavior toward the children wasn’t always ideal. She’s not innocent, by any means. But, she maintains, she’s not guilty—at least not of murder—but somebody is. Full of spellbinding menace and told in Ruth Ware’s signature suspenseful style, The Turn of the Key is an unputdownable thriller from the Agatha Christie of our time.
