À propos de ce contenu audio

Brought to you by Penguin.

I know you don’t know me but you have to help me. I didn’t kill anyone.

When Rowan stumbles across the advert, it seems like too good an opportunity to miss: a live-in nanny position, with a staggeringly generous salary. And when she 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 her in a cell awaiting trial for murder.

She knows she’s made mistakes. But she’s not guilty – at least not of murder. Which means someone else is…

So clever and original . . . Pure suspense, from the first gripping page to the last shocking twist (Erin Kelly)
Ware tells a cracking tale and, as in her breakout novel In a Dark, Dark Wood, the house itself plays a hugely menacing part in proceedings.
An ingenious suspense narrative...Ware pulls out a stunner on the penultimate page that radically alters how we interpret everything that’s come before. I daresay even Henry James would be impressed.
A ghost story for the twenty-first century, a propulsive gothic thriller with characters you’ll really care about. With this book, Ruth Ware proves she’s the true heir to Wilkie Collins. Creepy, engrossing, and oh-so-hard to put down (JP Delaney)
Ruth Ware just gets better and better. The Turn of the Key is her most compelling and addictive to date; I read this in a two sitting frenzy, barely able to turn the pages fast enough.
Diabolically clever. Twisty and creepy, THE TURN OF THE KEY is Ruth Ware's best book yet. Read with a blanket nearby, because you will get shivers up your spine
The Turn of the Key is a brilliantly crafted, chilling suspense thriller. Clues are seeded through the tale like poisonous plants that you only recognise when it's far too late. Trust no one in this novel except Ruth Ware – she has come up with a totally compelling tale once again (Jane Casey)
A masterclass in tension! (Sarah Pinborough)
The Turn of the Key is a delicious read — a sympathetic but fallible narrator is accused of a terrible crime. The clever unfolding of her story will hold you captive till the brilliant ending. Vintage Ruth Ware (Shari Lapena)
Ware is an accomplished storyteller...compelling... assured neo-Gothic chiller

Great story perfectly read as always by Imogen Church. True and touching characters you keep thinking of. Best Ruth Ware ‘s book from my point of view.

I really enjoyed listening to this book. Imogen Church reads it really well. She switches seamlessly between the different accents and voices. It was very dynamic and is what got me hooked.
As for the story, I have to say I expected a bit more. Rowan's VERY detailed account of everything that happens made it so that my brain switched off at some point in the story. Also, I guessed the different twists before they were revealed and I felt the ending was a bit anticlimactic. It's not a popular opinion, but well, I'll stick to it.
Nevertheless, I still enjoyed the book and the creepy feelings it elicited.
I would recommend it but be prepared for some length in the story.

Great reader....but the story is a bit drawn-out

Si j'ai beaucoup aimé l'intrigue, qui est à la fois originale et bien menée, en revanche j'ai eu beaucoup de mal à supporter les interminables dialogues intérieurs de la narratrice. Ceux-ci sont vraiment trop récurrents et longs et sa paranoïa tourne à l'absurde tellement le trait est forcé. Dommage car il y avait du potentiel pour cette histoire...

Avis mitigé

A wonderful performance and a great book. I don't often get so utterly drawn in by a story. There were twists and turns as you would expect. I don't want to spoil this book by saying too much, but I do recommend it. Just don't expect it to send you to sleep.

Réécriture de The Turn of the Screw, ce thriller raconte l'histoire d'une nanny qui doit s'occuper de petites pestes dans une maison ultra tech. Et l'auteure ne se prive pas en retournements de situation.

Quand le récit commence, on sait que la nanny est en prison pour le meurtre d'une des petites filles et elle clame son innocence en écrivant à un avocat susceptible de la défendre. C'est donc presque uniquement son point de vue qui est choisi. Elle répond à une annonce pour une famille fortunée et à partir de là c'est compliqué.

C'est compliqué, ça se retourne sans cesse mais c'est du bon thriller! Le personnage principal, pas forcément sympathique d'entrée de jeu, est attachant. Les petites pestes aussi.

J'avais envie de découvrir cette auteure et je ne suis pas déçue.

En prime ce livre audio en vo est servi par une narratrice très plaisante à écouter, qui donne une vraie sensation d'être dans l'histoire sans en faire des caisses.

Je recommande assurément.

Super histoire, très prenant, super narration!
