About this listen

“Welcome to the family,” Nina Winchester says as I shake her elegant, manicured hand. I smile politely, gazing around the marble hallway. Working here is my last chance to start fresh. I can pretend to be whoever I like. But I’ll soon learn that the Winchesters’ secrets are far more dangerous than my own....

Every day I clean the Winchesters’ beautiful house top to bottom. I collect their daughter from school. And I cook a delicious meal for the whole family before heading up to eat alone in my tiny room on the top floor.

I try to ignore how Nina makes a mess just to watch me clean it up. How she tells strange lies about her own daughter. And how her husband, Andrew, seems more broken every day. But as I look into Andrew’s handsome brown eyes, so full of pain, it’s hard not to imagine what it would be like to live Nina’s life. The walk-in closet, the fancy car, the perfect husband.

I only try on one of Nina’s pristine white dresses once. Just to see what it’s like. But she soon finds out...and by the time I realize my attic bedroom door only locks from the outside, it’s far too late.

But I reassure myself: The Winchesters don’t know who I really am.

They don’t know what I’m capable of....

I chose this book from a review in a newspaper. It was very enjoyable with a unique twist I didn’t see coming. Quite cleverly done with an extra couple of tiny twist at the end. Only downside for me was I did get a bit frustrated with one of the main characters, danger signals were all over the place but she couldn’t or didn’t want to see them. I prefer British narration but this was acceptable, I usually find American accents harsh but it didn’t detract from the story.

Enjoyable listen

Absolutely loved it. This is the first book, by this author, that I've read, it certainly won't be the last.
What a story. What a plot. What a bunch of characters.
I didn't see the ending at all, even though I thought I'd got it all figured out. I wasn't even close.
I highly recommend this book, and author.
