About this ebook

‘WOW! I absolutely loved this book and stayed up way too late to finish it!’ NetGalley Reviewer, 5 Stars

You trust her with your home, your husband, your baby... but she is about to destroy it all.

Sophy Pemberton is struggling to cope with the pressures of becoming a new mother. Her nine-month-old son never settles in her arms and the unrelenting tiredness from late night feeds is all consuming.

So, when Liv Granger from the mother and baby group offers her services as a nanny, Sophy is overcome with relief. Now she can finally get some sleep...She can stop failing at being a mother.

But Liv has a secret.

She didn’t become Sophy’s nanny by accident.

And Sophy has no idea who she has let into her home.

An utterly gripping and suspenseful novel that will have you turning the pages long into the night! Fans of The Mother-In-Law, Lies Lies Lies, and The Babysitter will love this heart-racing read.

Sophy is a fairly new mom with a 9-month-old son. Her husband is worried about her because she seems unable to handle the pressure of being a new mom. She's tired all the time and feels unable to cope. Her mother-in-law spends a lot of time at Sophy's house in order to help where needed. Liv Granger offers Sophy her services as a nanny. Sophy immediately takes her up on her offer...now she can stop failing at being a good mother. But Live has a secret ... and an agenda. Sophy’s perfect house, perfect husband and perfect baby are too much for Liv to bear… and she’s going to make her pay. And then every mother's nightmare .... someone takes the baby while Sophy is sleeping. This is a heart-stopping emotional read. The guilt that Sophy feels is palpable. Well-written with twists and turns and secrets and lies revealed lead to an unexpected conclusion. Many thanks to the authors / HQ Digital - HQstories / Netgalley for the digital copy of this psychological thriller. Read and reviewed voluntarily, opinions expressed here are unbiased and entirely my own.

I enjoyed this book so much. It reminds me a lot of the book The Housekeeper (I think that's the title). I stayed up until 3am reading it. A real page turner. The story is told from the nanny's perspective and the baby's mother and I liked both of them.

When she’s not writing, she reads a lot, enjoys walking – which is good for plot-wrangling and ideas, watching Netflix, baking and eating cakes. And then more walking to work off the cakes.

AMANDA BRITTANY lives in Hertfordshire with her husband and two dogs. She is the bestselling author of Her Last Lie and Tell the Truth, and her third psychological thriller, Traces of Her, was published in October 2019. Her debut, Her Last Lie, has raised almost £8,000 so far for Cancer Research UK from her ebook royalties, in memory of her sister.
When she’s not writing, Amanda loves reading, walking, travelling and going to the theatre.
