Erin reviewed The Turn of the Key by Ruth Ware
Review of 'The Turn of the Key' on 'Goodreads'
DNF at 20%. I thought this would be an easy win for me, so this is disappointing. I couldn't believe I was at 20% and this woman still hadn't actually been hired as the nanny - let the story get STARTED, please.
The level of detail was mind numbing, especially as Rowan starts describing the functions of the smart home. Truly do not know why I was being told about every single button on the panels.
The book is also supposedly a letter to a lawyer, which I was willing to look past despite how ridiculous that is. As long as I'm not constantly reminded that the words I'm reading are a letter or a journal or something, I can suspend disbelief when the narration gets unreasonable. But that was just one more reason to DNF when the boredom intensified.
