She had the perfect marriage. Until her mother-in-law moved in…
Saffron vowed to love Miles no matter what life
threw at them both. But when her mother-in-law moves into their happy family
home, Saffron’s shiny life begins to tarnish.
Even as Caprice’s barbed comments turn to
something more sinister, Saffron hopes the new nanny’s arrival will shield her
from the worst of it. She’s starting to feel paranoid in her own home.
Little does she realise that Caprice longs for a
new daughter-in-law – and she’ll do anything to make that happen…
Review:
Well, I can confirm that this book kept me on the edge of my seat throughout and it was well worth staying up till midnight last night to finish it. It gave me proper creeps, it’s fabulously written, the characters are believable and the books really gets under your skin.
Story revolves around the Jackson family. Caprice, the matriarch mother of Miles and mother-in-law to Saffron. Miles, the preferred son, the philosopher, a devoted husband to Saffron and father to their two boys Ben and Harry. Saffron, the lawyer, working mother, the breadwinner of the family, constantly critised by Caprice for not being good enough wife, mother and a woman. And then comes Hayleigh, the nanny, attractive, young girl with the hots for Miles.
As a reader you enter diary-style story from the point of view of Caprice, Miles, Aiden (Miles’s brother), Saffron and Hayleigh. Story of corruption, jealousy, love, strength and plotting. It’s fantastical, but highly intelligent and it’s a proper battle of wit, truth and trust. And every time you think you’ve sassed it, come another twist you didn’t expect.
Absolutely nerve-wracking book, that I kept thinking about every time I was not able to read more.
Thank you to NetGalley for access to this fab book.
