As I clutched baby Chloe’s blanket, tears streamed down my face as I remembered what happened the night she disappeared. Looking up at the apartment block I once called home, my mind was crowded with memories. David’s words echoed in my head, telling me to get out and never come back. I understood why: our mistake had ruined everything.

When I accepted a job working as a nanny for David and Julie and their young children, I was excited to be making my own way in the world. I bonded with baby Chloe instantly and would have done anything for her. She had David's thick, dark hair and smiling eyes. I fell in love with her and was excited for my future.

But when a terrible mistake led to Chloe disappearing, I was instantly blamed. With no evidence, I was let go and I returned home to rebuild my life.

Twenty years later and I am still haunted by what happened. I have a family of my own now and I’ve worked hard to be the best wife and mother I can be, but I’ve never forgotten the child who stole my heart.

Then a young woman arrives on my doorstep and the past secret that I have kept from my family comes hurtling into my present.

I try to tell myself that I am overreacting. But the woman in front of me looks so much like David. Who is she and why is she here? And if I welcome her in, will she want to be a part of my life, or destroy it?

A totally addictive psychological thriller that will have you reading late into the night. Perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell, T.M. Logan and Shalini Boland.

Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews

First, I want to thank Ruth Heald, Bookouture and NetGalley for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review. 

O.M.G. WOW!! Inspired from the 1990s Louise Woodward case, The Nanny is one of Ruth Heald’s most fascinating reads to date! The Nanny was gripping, fast paced, addicting, intense, heartbreaking, tragic, secrets, wicked twists, shocking revelations galore that you will not see coming! Go put this on top of your TBR list!! You won’t be sorry!! 

Ruth chose to start off The Nanny in an out of the box sort of way. She posted a newspaper article of  the specific event that would set the tone for the book. She hooked me into the storyline as instantly she knew how to pull hard on my heartstrings! 

What I thought was different about this book compared to others that I have read it this book didn’t just have one but two prologues  to it. 

If I had been blessed to be a mother (which I am not-yet a proud Auntie) however, I too like Hayley would be worried and overprotective over Alice! 

I liked how Ruth set most of this book in Bangkok, Thailand. It gave the book a little cultural feel to it. 

This is one book that had situations and characters that if you blinked you would miss something important. Infact, I ended up going back and re-reading parts of it to make sure that I didn’t miss anything!
