| Perhaps one of the best thrillers of 2019 - don't miss out on reading it today. |
Rowan, seeking a better job as a nanny, finds a position suddenly vacant in the Scottish moorlands in a too-good-to-be-true house. She's desperate for the job and doesn't mind leaving London to pursue it - she needs the money, and a job in the private sector of nannying will look good on her resume. After a worrying first introduction to the three girls in her charge - where she's warned by Maddie, the eldest, not to take the job - Rowan shrugs off her lingering doubts and accepts.
The house, though beautiful, is fitted with the latest in technology. A smart house through and through, it's always on - allowing Rowan's employers to watch her and the kids 24/7. And though Rowan has nothing to hide, the girls prove to be more than a handful, pushing Rowan to extremes.
It doesn't help that the house seems to have a mind of its own - especially in the dead of night...
In turns haunting, edge of your seat chilling, and with
swathes of atmospheric description, Ware has created a twisting psychological
thriller that will keep you guessing to the very end. And remember – if
something seems too good to be true, it probably is.
