À propos de cet audio
From the number one New York Times best-selling author of In a Dark, Dark Wood, The Woman in Cabin 10, The Lying Game, and The Death of Mrs. Westaway comes Ruth Ware’s highly anticipated fifth novel.
When Rowan stumbles across an ad for a live-in nanny, she’s looking for something else completely. But it seems like too good an opportunity to miss - with a staggeringly generous salary. And when she arrives at Heatherbrae House, she is smitten - by the luxurious "smart" house fitted out with all modern conveniences, by the beautiful Scottish Highlands, and by this picture-perfect family.
What Rowan doesn’t know is that she’s stepping into a nightmare - one that will end with a child dead and Rowan in prison awaiting trial for murder.
Writing to her lawyer from prison, Rowan struggles to explain the unravelling events that have led to her incarceration. It wasn’t just the constant surveillance from the cameras installed around the house, 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 children, 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, Jack Grant.
It was everything.
Rowan 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. Which means someone else is.
Full of spellbinding menace and told in Ruth Ware’s signature suspenseful style, this is an unputdownable thriller from the Agatha Christie of our time.

Disappointing
Not her best work. The story is weak and the ending seemed like grasping to wrap up a dismal plot.

Hardly memorable
I enjoyed this book when I read it (listened to it), but a month or two later, as I go to write this review, I had no memory of it. I truly drew a blank. Of course, once I read the book summary, it came back to me, and I remembered the storyline. There were surprises and twists and turns I did not see coming, so it was good in that respect, but my lack of recollection afterwards tells me that it wasn't compelling enough to engage me on a deeper level. Even for fiction, I want to be moved in some way, to be made to think, to ponder the lessons long afterward.

Great story
I loved the flow of the story and how flawed but real the characters were.

Wow!
Do not miss this one! I never saw the twists coming and I didn’t guess the end at all. Terrific read or listen. I also really enjoyed the narrator. Well done on all levels!

Ruth Ware did it again
This book is so good I binged it as always. This was my first time listening to one of her books as opposed to reading it and the reader did an immaculate job. The story was gripping and had me at the edge of my seat. Buy any Ruth Ware book and you won't be disappointed. This book is really good and I would recommend it to anyone who is into this Genre.

Not her best
I’m a huge Ruth Ware fan, but this is not her best novel. I found it very repetitive - to the point of annoyance. I understand that she was trying to build the suspense throughout the novel, but it felt like there wasn’t enough of a story to keep the reader interested. The whole climax came in the last chapter - some of which the reader will guess and the rest just doesn’t play as the big bombshell of an ending you feel promised. At least that’s how I felt... Especially in comparison with The Woman in Cabin 10 or In a Dark Dark Wood.

Engaging mystery; fantastic narrator
I really enjoyed this one of Ware’s. I’ve enjoyed most of her books (did not care for the Lying Game), but this one might be my new favourite. The mystery was well-plotted and I only figured out a few of the twists before they were revealed. The narrator was fantastic and made the story come alive. You could clearly tell which character was speaking at any given time and her pacing was great. I would definitely recommend this book for mystery lovers or fans of Ruth Ware’s other works.
