Å snø inne på en luksuriøs hytte i de sveitsiske alpene høres ikke så ille ut. Spesielt ikke når man har en fantastisk utsikt, kokk, stuepike, koselig peis og godt selskap. Med mindre selskapet består av dine åtte kollegaer – hver med noe å vinne, noe å tape og noe å skjule. Da en av medeierne i Snoop, et trendy London-basert IT-selskap, organiserer en langhelg for sine ansatte, starter samlingen med teambuilding og skiturer i bakken. Men da en av medeierne fremmer forslag om å selge firmaet, begynner det å bli dårlig stemning i gruppen, og alles lojalitet blir satt på prøve. Det bygger opp til storm, og et snøskred gjør at gruppen blir isolert fra omverdenen uten tilgang til kommunikasjon. Og det verste er at en av kollegaene ikke klarte å komme tilbake til hytta før snøskredet gikk. For hver time som går, uten redning utenfra, vokser panikken. Hytta blir kaldere og kaldere, og en etter en forsvinner kollegaene sporløst. «Bøkene til Ruth Ware blir stadig bedre. De er fulle av menneskelighet og varme. … En etter en blir et fantastisk fint snømysterium. Ordene faller lett som snø, lettbent og lettlest skaper de sitrende spenning i fjellheimen. Spenningen bygges fint opp, Ware skaper tydelige personer med herskap og tjenere.» Gunnar Gran, Stavanger Aftenblad«Grådighet, ambisjoner, manipulasjon, hemmeligheter, snedige intriger og en strålende oppklaring gir en kriblende pageturner.» Guardian «Et perfekt møte mellom Agatha Christie og et ferskt app-selskap – som er på jobbtur i en avsidesliggende luksushytte på fjellet.» Stylist «En oppslukende pageturner med plott som holder deg på pinebenken.» Daily Express «Bøker er ikke noe man sluker som kaker, men det går ikke an å gjøre noe annet med Wares.» Metro «En thriller som vil få deg til å grøsse og trippe av spenning. Agatha Christie ville sittet oppe hele natten med denne!» Shari Lapena, forfatteren av Naboparet «Dronningen av bare-ett-kapittel-til har fått det til igjen.» Clare Mackintosh, forfatteren av Jeg lar deg gå «Umulig å legge fra seg, fullstendig klaustrofobisk og vidunderlig stemningsfull.» Gytha Lodge, forfatteren av She Lies in Wait «Så heseblesende, handlingsmettet og full av overraskelser, så moderne, smart, skummel og genial!» Lisa Jewell, forfatteren av Lucy Lambs hemmelighet «En herlig psykologisk thriller, og jeg nøt snølandskapet! Utrolig intens, og plottet holdt meg i åndeløs spenning til siste slutt.» Emily Koch, forfatteren av If I Die Before I Wake «Skrekkfølelsen stiger med snømengden i Ruth Wares intense thriller fra alpene.» Louise Candlish, den bestselgende forfatteren av Our House «Rasende god.» Observer «Djevelsk lekker.» Red «Herlig slu.» Sunday Times

"An excellent mystery/suspense novel that will remind you of Dame Agatha at her best." --Stephen King This instant New York Times bestseller and "claustrophobic spine-tingler" (People) from Ruth Ware follows a group of employees trapped on a snow-covered mountain. Getting snowed in at a luxurious, rustic ski chalet high in the French Alps doesn't sound like the worst problem in the world. Especially when there's a breathtaking vista, a full-service chef and housekeeper, a cozy fire to keep you warm, and others to keep you company. Unless that company happens to be eight coworkers...each with something to gain, something to lose, and something to hide. When the cofounder of Snoop, a trendy London-based tech start-up, organizes a weeklong trip for the team in the French Alps, it starts out as a corporate retreat like any other: presentations and strategy sessions broken up by mandatory bonding on the slopes. But as soon as one shareholder upends the agenda by pushing a lucrative but contentious buyout offer, tensions simmer and loyalties are tested. The storm brewing inside the chalet is no match for the one outside, however, and a devastating avalanche leaves the group cut off from all access to the outside world. Even worse, one Snooper hadn't made it back from the slopes when the avalanche hit. As each hour passes without any sign of rescue, panic mounts, the chalet grows colder, and the group dwindles further...one by one.

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER "A superb suspense writer...Brava, Ruth Ware. I daresay even Henry James would be impressed." --Maureen Corrigan, author of So We Read On "This appropriately twisty Turn of the Screw update finds the Woman in Cabin 10 author in her most menacing mode, unfurling a shocking saga of murder and deception." --Entertainment Weekly From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Lying Game and The Death of Mrs. Westaway comes this thrilling novel that explores the dark side of technology. 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.
