Descripción: Críticas "A superb suspense writer... Ware is a master at signaling the presence of evil at the most mundane moments... Rowan stays put for reasons we won't understand until the final act of this tragedy. And that's when Ware's gifts for structuring an ingenious suspense narrative really come to the fore... Ware pulls out a stunner on the penultimate page that radically alters how we interpret everything that's come before. Brava, Ruth Ware. I daresay even Henry James would be impressed." --Washington Post Book World"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, award-winning author of The Burning"the definition of 'unputdownable'... [and] a terrifically clever reimagining of The Turn of the Screw" --Refinery29"A classically spooky thriller involving a potentially murderous nanny and a smart house gone wrong in the Scottish Highlands. Ruth Ware is a No. 1 New York Times bestselling author, and her fans are legion and loyal." --Vox"A clever and elegant update to James's story... Surveillance and home technology slot easily into the conventions of horror: They bring the sense that your environment is invaded and controlled from afar, and that you are never quite as alone as you might wish... The Turn of the Key, and novels like it, point to a new reality. We are all, constantly, haunted." --NPR "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, New York Times bestselling author of The Girl Before"A tale full of mystery and suspense that no one other than Ware can weave, The Turn of the Key will keep you on the edge of your seat." --Grand Island Independent "A Daphne du Maurier-like Gothic thriller set in the remote Scottish highlands but with a modern technology twist. Ware specializes in menacing spellbinders with narrators who may or may not be reliable... She has done a first-rate job of manufacturing and maintaining tension until the final page." --Columbus Dispatch"All of Ruth Ware's books have been creepy and deeply mysterious, in other words...awesome! But I think this might be her best one yet." --Get Literary"Are you attached to your Alexa? Do you control various aspects of your home from your smartphone? Prepare to be creeped out. Ruth Ware's latest thriller, The Turn of the Key, tells the story of a nanny in a smart home that turns downright harrowing." --Bookish"Breathlessly atmospheric, The Turn of the Key is a deliciously creepy mystery... Ware's twist on a classic is sure to be a hit for fans of psychological thrillers." --Shelf Awareness"Chilling." --Minneapolis Star Tribune"Compulsively readable from the very start... The Turn of the Key is full of dizzying plot twists and revelations, but one thing is very clear: in Ware's version, we are the ghosts. What human beings are capable of, including what we can accomplish with our technology, has the capacity to turn us into monsters." --BookBub"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." --Riley Sager, New York Times bestselling author of The Last Time I Lied"Gothic inspiration meets modern technology; a summer 2019 must-read" --Crime by the Book "Henry James via Black Mirror... While the ambiguity in James's masterpiece is 'ghosts or madness?, ' here it is 'ghosts or glitch?' Unlike The Turn of the Screw, however, Ware picks a lane, deploying a satisfyingly dizzying parade of twists and reveals without leaving much unexplained." --Los Angeles Review of Books (LARB)"If you're looking for a compelli
