Review this product
  • The best by Ware that I have read. The twist continues until the last page in an excellent way. Not a tiring book at all, on the contrary, whenever I found the chance I would pick it up to continue it even for a little while.

    Nice plot and narration, but it becomes boring at some points. The ending is almost predictable (especially for people who read crime fiction or thrillers).

Description & Specifications

An intelligent combination of gothic atmosphere, modern paranoia, and domestic drama. Their dream home will become her worst nightmare. The ad seems too good to be true: a position as an indoor nanny with incredibly high pay, which Rowan cannot ignore.

When she arrives at Heatherbury House, she is thrilled by the luxurious “smart” home and the seemingly perfect family. What she doesn’t know is that she is heading towards a nightmare - which ends with one child dead and her in jail, awaiting trial for murder.

Ruth Ware pays homage to the classic work The Turn of the Screw by Henry James, transporting us to her own dark universe. A novel with masterfully crafted plot, leading the reader to an unexpectedly subversive ending, set against the backdrop of the isolated Scottish luxury residence of Heatherbury.

They wrote about The It: “Ingenious narration... Ware delivers an incredible twist on the penultimate page that radically changes how we must interpret everything that has preceded it. I dare say even Henry James would be impressed.” –Washington Post

“The It is a delightful read – a sympathetic but vulnerable narrator is accused of a horrific crime. The clever progression of her story will keep you captive until the exceptional ending. Classic Ruth Ware.” –Shari Lapena, bestselling author

“Delightfully dark and chilling.” –Sunday Mirror

“Agatha Christie meets The Girl on the Train.” –The Sun

Ruth Ware is a bestselling author of crime novels.
