I love domestic thrillers, and I love multiple POV, so I enjoyed this so much. Many plot twists, quite unpredictable. Such an exciting book!!

Megan and Jake Harrington hire 21-year-old Ellie Taylor to care for their six-year-old son, Ollie, and three-month-old daughter, Fern after their au pair leaves them stranded. Megan seems to be suspicious of Ellie from the get go, apparently as there were issues with the au pair that left. Jake, on the other hand, trusts Ellie and tries to smooth over any issues with his wife. Ellie has no idea what she has become part of. It seems that everyone has secrets, and motives that we learn about as this book unfolds. From the beginning, we know something has happened to the baby, but who did what?

Wow, this was quite a twisty story, that left me not knowing who was telling the truth and what secrets did they all have. The story is told from 3 POVs and everyone has a different story. They are all keeping secrets, all see things from a different perspective and are manipulative. I don't know who to believe. There was a bit of repetition due to the different POVs, but it gave me a fuller picture of what is happening, even though it also kept me guessing. There were actions in the book that I was not happy with, but Browne's writing kept me gripped. This is a multi-layered story, one that kept me guessing every time new information was revealed. This is a book about toxic relationships, self-centered people, lying, adultery and more. One that kept me listening long after I should have been doing something else.

This is another exciting read from Sheryl Browne. This story is centred around three main characters and is told from their points of view. Jake and Megan seem like the golden couple. They both run successful businesses, have a beautiful show home and two lovely young children. Ellie works for Jake and is amazed when he asks her if she would babysit for their two young children. That evening when she arrives Megan makes it clear that she doesn’t want Ellie there . Ellie soon realises that Jake and Megan have a toxic relationship and she feels sorry for Jake. When he offers her a full time nanny post, paying good wages, she accepts. But Megan soon starts to pick on Ellie and makes things difficult. Ellis’s boyfriend urges her to leave the job, especially when it comes to light that the last nanny mysteriously disappeared. We soon realise that all three of them have their own dark secrets waiting to be revealed. I didn’t think any of the characters were particularly likeable but the tension, suspense and twists and turns had me completely hooked. Another winner from Sheryl Browne.
Thanks to Netgalley and Bookouture for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book.

A lot of secrets and lies (even more than the title suggests!) and it soon becomes obvious, no one's version of events can be trusted.

Every build up and twist either fell flat or was very predictable. Lots of repetitiveness towards the end, almost like the author forgot she already told us. Very disappointed with the ending as it wasn’t believable at all.

Thank you so much Bookouture, Sheryl Browne, and NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to read and honestly review this book.

Heart pounding thriller that left me on the edge of my seat. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this one. Definitely one of the best books this year.

This wasn't really for me. I did finish it but the multiple POV and everything became confusing after a while. Also some parts of the story just didn't really make sense.

Amazing book!
I was thoroughly engaged throughout this book and I didn't want to put it down! The author captured my attention from the get go! Five stars from me :)

This is a compelling domestic thriller about Megan and Jake; Jake employs 21-year-old Ellie to look after their six-year-old boy, Ollie, and their baby, and it doesn’t go well. Who can we trust in this book? No one!!!

This one is packed full of secrets, betrayal, and lie upon lie and it will have your head spinning!!! Its taut and twisty and full of all the good stuff.

The final twist is breathtaking and one I did not see coming. Browne's knack for creating tension makes this novel a must-read for fans of the genre.

This book is told in multiple POV's . It did become repetitive in places especially when told by Jake or Megan. The ending was actually disappointing for me.

I literally picked this book up and finished it in a day because I couldn’t put it down. I was hooked on the story and needed to know what was happening. The characters in this book matched the story perfect.

Jake Harrington employs 21-year-old Ellie Taylor to look after his two kids, three-month-old Fern and six-year-old Ollie, without telling his wife. Given that there were issues with the children's last nanny, Jack's wife Megan is not happy with the arrangement.

However, it appears that everything will work out. The youngsters won't bother Ellie, but the home turns out to be very weird. To start with, Megan comes across as a shrew, and there are times when it seems like she's gaslighting Ellie. In addition, despite having a boyfriend at the moment, Ellie finds herself pulled to Jack—who is, of course, married to Megan.

Ellie is tormented by a terrible loss from her history and This gives her current circumstances a distinct taste. Things are getting rather hot between her and Jack, especially because she has to cope with a challenging Megan. What worries Ellie is the unsolved mystery surrounding the last nanny.

Consequently, it was quite addictive to read this novel of deceit, treachery, secrets, and lies. There was a dramatic ending to the novel because it progressed at a tremendous pace. Psychological thrillers written by Sheryl Browne are fantastic, and this one is no different.

This is about a nanny and what she has to go through. The characters were cold and you could not show empathy.
When I'm reading I like to relate with the characters.
Thanks to publisher Bookouture and to NetGalley for the ARC.

I loved this book and finished it in a matter of days, kept me guessing the whole way through and one of the only books ive read where i was still surprised up until the end

Fast paced, gripping and full of suspense. he tension was so high in this book it gave me goosebumps. I really enjoyed it

Sheryl Browne has a gripping psychological suspense that’s completely thrilling!

Thank you, Sheryl Browne, Bookouture & Netgalley for my copy. All opinions are my own.

In this book suspense and deception take center stage as the protagonist, the nanny, finds herself entangled in a web of accusations, secrets, and a seemingly idyllic family's unraveling dynamics.

The narrative begins with an atmosphere of unease as the nanny, responsible for baby Fern's safety, is shocked to hear accusations implicating her in a crime. The tension intensifies as the police presence grows downstairs, and the blame is placed squarely on her shoulders.

The portrayal of the seemingly perfect Harington family is quickly dismantled, revealing underlying tensions, mistrust, and a series of secrets. The nanny becomes a pawn in their fractured relationships, with Jake's overly friendly behavior and Megan's seemingly calculated efforts to undermine her credibility.

As the story unfolds, the narrative exposes the complexities of the characters and their hidden pasts. The nanny's own secrets come to light, providing a backdrop of intrigue and raising questions about her true intentions. The Haringtons, in turn, are forced to confront their own skeletons as the plot takes unexpected turns.

The exploration of trust, manipulation, and the consequences of hidden truths adds depth to the psychological thriller. The suspense is masterfully maintained, keeping readers guessing about the true nature of the nanny's involvement and the Haringtons' motivations.

This is a riveting tale of suspense and psychological drama, skillfully weaving together the threads of deception and revealing the fragile nature of seemingly perfect lives. If you enjoy psychological thrillers with unexpected twists and complex characters, this book promises to be a gripping and compelling read.

This was a great book with so many unexpected turns. When her husband Jake hires Ellie as a nanny without first consulting her his wife Megan is a bit annoyed but decides to her a chance. She is a bit young and is obviously smitten with her husband.
Ellie soon begins to wish she hadn't taken the job, she has no idea of how to look after kids then there was all the arguing between her employers. She soon starts to get blamed for things by Megan and tries to make her look bad as a nanny.
This is a great story with a few surprises along the way. I am hoping there is going to be another instalment as it finished that way,

This was another fantastic title by Sheryl Browne.
5 Stars, fully recommended to friends and family!

This was quite the wild ride and one that kept me on the edge of my seat until the very end. The relationships between Jake and Megan and Ellie and the back and forth POV between them all really set the stage for a suspenseful game of "who can we trust?" I still wasn't sure until the very end who was telling the truth and it made for an exciting read. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.
