Claudia appears to have it all. She's expecting a much wanted baby, she has a wonderful husband, a lovely home and she's just hired a lovely nanny named Zoe to help her out with her 2 step-sons. Zoe seems almost too good to be true, she's fun and easy going, she's helpful and great with the kids. She could almost be the perfect woman, but why is she secretive about her personal life to the point of tears, why is she so obsessed with Claudia's baby to be and why does Claudia catch her going through her personal possessions in a locked room? However, just when you think you have it all worked out in your head the book takes on a completely different twist that will seriously leave you speechless. I haven't felt that amazed and impressed over a book for a long time. It's clever, so incredibly clever and you will NOT see the twist coming, I promise you. It's also told from both Claudia and Zoe's points of view which makes it even more chilling. Just a really excellent display of mystery and suspense writing from Samantha Hayes that should be savoured like a tasty dish. I will be reading more of her.
