![]() I’ll admit that the plot did sound intriguing and was the only reason that I decided to give her another chance. For her latest book, Ware is doing her best to channel Agatha Christie with this homage to And Then There Were None. ![]() It certainly didn’t live up to its connection with Henry James’ The Turn of the Screw. Turn of the Keyjust didn’t live up to all of the hype. I’ve only ever read one other book by Ruth Ware and I can’t say that I was too impressed by that one. But was it the best book to choose as my final book of the year? ![]() Anyway, I did what I wanted and got it finished. As it turned out, I finished it in about 2 hours, which goes to show how much more I could achieve if I just took the time to read properly. So, as soon as she left, I retreated to my room and didn’t come out until I’d finished. Considering we were babysitting my niece during the day, it didn’t leave me with a great deal of time to read either. ![]() Of course, when it got to the morning of the 31st, I still have about 200 pages to go. I picked this one up even though it’s the longest book I’ve read for ages because I was being cocky. I feel like a failure and I don’t like that it skews my final count. I wanted something that I could definitely finish in time because I hate the idea of carrying a book over. I finished Twleve Nights about 2/3 days before the end of 2020 so I had a bit of a conundrum about what to pick next. ![]()
