Another thing we readers know from the get-go is that Rowan is not quite leveling with us. Rowan has been charged with the murder of one of the four children who'd been under her care. We readers know that 27-year-old governess Rowan Caine is a broken woman from the opening of this novel when we meet her in prison. It's a toss-up as to whether the alleged ghosts or those gadgets are responsible for shattering our poor heroine's nerves. Ware slyly sets her tale of the haunting of a governess and her difficult young charges in an old mansion that's been renovated into a "smart house," complete with a sinister assortment of blinking surveillance cameras and talking refrigerators.

Westaway is a tough act to follow: It was one of the best mysteries I read in 2018. Your purchase helps support NPR programming.
