![]() ![]() ![]() She ratchets up the tension in such a steady way. I was constantly worried for Hal's safety, mental and financial well-being, and about her lies. She unnerves me in such an excellent way. My favorite thing about The Turn of the Key held true in this book Ware is truly excellent at writing suspense. Hal is uniquely desperate and uniquely qualified to pull off gaining an inheritance she knows is not for her her grandmother has been dead for years. Being a tarot reader, Hal is well aware of her skills at reading people and at knowing what to say to skeptics and believers. While in this crisis, she received a letter saying that her grandmother has died and left Hal something in her will. Hal has acquired some very serious money problems in the wake of her mother's death and is truly unmoored from any safety net in her life. Westaway follows Hal, a young woman who reads tarot on the (no longer existent in real life but alive in the wonderful world of fiction) Brighton Pier after her mother tragically died just before she would have headed off to University. This was my second experience with Ware, and I still have every intention of reading all of her books! ![]() Last year I read, and loved, The Turn of the Key by Ruth Ware and have intended to read all of her books this year in the wake of that reading experience. ![]()
