ABOUT THE BOOK
I look into baby Fern’s crib, and my heart pounds. I’m her nanny, I was supposed to keep her safe. I hear the police downstairs, and the next words I hear make my legs buckle underneath me. ‘It was the nanny. She’s guilty’.
When I first walked into Jake and Megan’s immaculate home, I felt totally at ease. Sitting in the crisp white living room, they held hands and talked lovingly about their baby girl, Fern.
As the weeks passed, I began to think I’d made a mistake in taking the job. Jake was overly friendly from the start, watching my every move and always offering to drop me home, even though it was out of his way. And Megan seemed to take pleasure in telling me off in front of her husband, blaming me for things I hadn’t done.
The first time I heard the Haringtons arguing behind the door to their bedroom, I heard my name mentioned, and then they went silent. I should have left right there and then.
Now, as I stand accused of something terrible, my whole past is revealed and the Haringtons admit to knowing every detail about why I was sacked from my last job. We all have secrets, but little do they realise, I know theirs too…
MY REVIEW
Well, this was an easy to read, page turning thriller! I couldn’t put this one down, I was flying through the pages, glued to the story and the characters. The prologue starts the story off strong. Then the first part of the book is told through Ellie’s point of view. The second half of the book, we get Jake’s and Megan’s points of view as well, which I really enjoyed. And while it meant that some of the scenes were repeated, it also meant that we were given extra bits of information from those scenes that we didn’t have before.
I liked that while that there were multiple mysteries here – not just the mystery about Fern, but the mystery of what happened with Ellie, between Megan and Jake, and who is telling the truth? And then the epilogue will make you finish the book with a big shock! I don’t want to say too much more, because I don’t want to give anything away. But I feel like even though I don’t know that there would be a sequel to this one, there could be! I’d love to continue reading the story of these characters!
