About this listen

What happens when you open your home to the perfect stranger?

Anna Klein is ready to return to work as a literary agent for the first time since having children. She and her husband, Josh, decide to hire a live-in nanny with some trepidation, but all their misgivings disappear as soon as they meet Oaklynn Durst. She has stellar references, a calm disposition, and a natural way with children. Not to mention their kids simply adore her.

But not long after Oaklynn arrives, the children start to come down with the most puzzling illnesses and inexplicable injuries. When the maternal Oaklynn is there to comfort everyone, Anna can’t help feeling a little eclipsed. And suspicious. Her husband and friends assure her that her anxieties are getting the best of her - Oaklynn is perfect. But Anna’s not so sure....

As she delves into Oaklynn’s past, she discovers too late that the woman who has been living in her house is not at all who she claims to be. But Oaklynn’s not the only one who has been lying. And when everyone’s dark secrets are forced into the light, the consequences may just turn deadly.

This is an interesting and intriguing story with many layers. It starts slowly and carefully, setting the scene of two friends, one, Oaklynn, heading off to Japan as a missionary, the other, Nadine, preparing to steal her friend's identity as an experienced nanny. She gets a job with the other main characters in the story, a family with two little girls.

Unfortunately the wife, Anna, came across as slightly whiny, with the narrator's voice rising at the end of most of her sentences with a rather adolescent inflection, as if asking a question. The husband Josh's voice is narrated in a slightly slimy, creepy way which contradicts his steady, dull, unimaginative personality. I didn't particularly warm to either of them.

Nadine worms her way expertly into the family's affections. The little girls adore her. But slowly, the tension mounts as more layers are revealed. A plotline begins to emerge which has me thinking I've solved the mystery abd Nadine is the bad guy, but near the end there's a sudden twist which reveals a completely different and brilliantly unexpected ending. The attention is nail-biting right up until the end. I would highly recommend this book.

Narrator's intonation v distracting!
