Books of September

Here's a new book by Ruth Ware, author of The Woman in Cabin 10.  A young woman is hired to be a nanny for the children of a wealthy couple in Scotland.  The house is strange, part original Victorian and part high tech.  The children are strange.  The parents leave for a conference and almost immediately weird things happen.  Ghosts?  Intruders?  The book begins with the nanny in prison for murdering one of the children.  Did she do it?  If not, who did?  I enjoyed the book although it's not going to be on my list of favorites.

This story takes place in a private school in Japan and consists of confessions from  a teacher and various students about the murder of the teacher's young daughter.  It was a bit slow at the beginning but I enjoyed it once I got into it.  It's kind of unusual.  You might give it a try.
