CircesBooked | Five Book Wrap Up Number 2 | Circe's Booked @CircesBooked | Uploaded June 2020 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
Hi everyone! My name is Ercy and in this video I am giving my thoughts on a few books I read.
Books Mentioned:
- My Sister the Serial Killer by Oyinkan Braithewaite (Anchor)
- The Mutations by Jorge Comensal (Farrar, Straus, and Giroux)
- The Turn of the Key by Ruth Ware (Gallery / Scout Press)
- The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides (Celadon Books)
- Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown (HarperFestival)
- Goodnight Goon: A Petrifying Parody by Michael Rex (G.P. Putnam's Son's Books for Young Readers)
Since I did a terrible job describing The Turn of the Key, here's the synopsis from Amazon:
"When she stumbles across the ad, she’s looking for something else completely. But it seems like too good an opportunity to miss—a live-in nannying post, with a staggeringly generous salary. And when Rowan Caine arrives at Heatherbrae House, she is smitten—by the luxurious “smart” home fitted out with all modern conveniences, by the beautiful Scottish Highlands, and by this 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 herself in prison awaiting trial for murder.
Writing to her lawyer from prison, she struggles to explain the events that led to her incarceration. It wasn’t just the constant surveillance from the home’s cameras, 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 girls, 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.
It was everything.
She 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—but somebody is.
Full of spellbinding menace and told in Ruth Ware’s signature suspenseful style, The Turn of the Key is an unputdownable thriller from the Agatha Christie of our time"
