Review of 'The Turn of the Key' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

I was hoping this would go somewhere a little more interesting than it did (it wasn't bad at all, and I think the ending fits fine), but I always have a solid reaction to Ruth Ware's books rather than an ecstatic one. She's an author I continue reading because I feel like she won't "wow" me, but she won't frustrate me, either.

The build-up and atmosphere was very good, I felt. I was anxious reading it and not completely sure what was behind the major mystery until pretty late, and even then I couldn't quite figure out how it had happened. There was another part of the mystery that I assume was supposed to be very obvious, since pretty obvious hints were dropped very early on.

Overall it was an enjoyable read and I'm sure I'll pick up her next one.
