Rowan is the latest in a series of nannies at Heatherbrae House. Previous nannies have left quickly, scared away by someone...or something. As the book opens, Rowan is writing letters from jail to tell her side of the story. So we know something has gone terribly wrong.

Heatherbrae House is isolated in the Scottish Highlands. The previous owner lost his daughter to poison before slowing going mad himself. Rumors that the house is cursed kept the house unoccupied unit the current family moved in and restored/modernized the house.

This haunted house/ghost story was atmospheric and wonderfully creepy. There were times I wanted to yell: Rowan Run, Don't Go Back in the House, No Don't Open That Door!

Wonderfully surprising twists in the final 1/3 of the story. Ruth Ware is amazing.
