Add to basketBook Condition, As New: An unread, unused book in perfect condition. The dust jacket is pristine, free from blemishes or tears, all cover artwork remains bright and vibrant, popping with colour. Original black hardcover binding remains in mint condition. Clean text block, the decorative edges sprayed with keys are perfect - a wonderful feature. Pages are tightly bound, clean and tidy throughout, never thumbed or opened.
A first edition hardback signed by the author, featuring decorative sprayed edges, highly collectible as a signed first printing of this internationally successful thriller. Signed copies with unique design features (such as sprayed edges) are significantly rarer than standard editions, increasing their appeal to genre collectors.
This atmospheric psychological thriller unfolds around a live-in nanny whose escape from a mysterious incident leads to her recounting a chilling sequence of events at an isolated, high-tech smart home. Ware deftly blends modern gothic tension with claustrophobic suspense, layering technological unease, shifting perspectives, and escalating dread to keep readers guessing. With its clever structure and unsettling mood, the novel delivers a gripping exploration of trust, perception, and the unseen dangers lurking behind closed doors.

IT WAS THE DREAM JOB. IT WOULD BECOME HER WORST NIGHTMARE.
‘So clever and original . . . from the first gripping page to the last shocking twist’ ERIN KELLY, author of He Said/She Said
'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' Lisa Jewell, author of The People Upstairs
When Rowan stumbles across the advert, it seems like too good an opportunity to miss: a live-in nanny position, with a very generous salary. And when she arrives at Heatherbrae House, she is smitten by the luxurious ‘smart’ home fitted out with all modern conveniences by a 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 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…
'Will hold you captive until the brilliant ending' SHARI LAPENA, author of Someone We Know
