Nanny Dearest

De: Flora Collins

Narrado por: Brittany Pressley, Reba Buhr

“A well-crafted debut . . . horrifying . . . Psychological thrillers fans won’t be disappointed.” —Publishers Weekly

"Unsettling, compelling, elegantly paced . . . A slick, contemporary novel that explores the wispy, nagging memories of childhood.” —Julia Heaberlin, bestselling author of We Are All the Same in the Dark

In this compulsively readable novel of domestic suspense, a young woman takes comfort in reconnecting with her childhood nanny, until she starts to uncover secrets the nanny has been holding for twenty years.

Sue Keller is lost. When her father dies suddenly, she's orphaned in her mid-twenties, her mother already long gone. Then Sue meets Annie. It’s been twenty years, but Annie could never forget that face. She was Sue’s live-in nanny at their big house upstate, and she loved Sue like she was her own.

Craving connection and mothering, Sue is only too eager to welcome Annie back into her life; but as they become inseparable once again, Sue starts to uncover the truth about Annie's unsettling time in the Keller house all those years ago, particularly the manner of her departure—or dismissal. At the same time, she begins to grow increasingly alarmed for the safety of the two new charges currently in Annie's care.

Told in alternating points of views—Annie in the mid-'90s and Sue in the present day—this taut novel of suspense will keep readers turning the pages right up to the shocking end.

A psychological thriller for sure

Both narrators are excellent, Brittany, who I've come to know well, in particular. The flashbacks are an excellent look from Annie's POV during her time with Sue. The twist is one I thought might be possible, but was still surprised by. A firsst-rate debut.

The story line

I loved the plot of the story & wasn't expecting some parts which thrilled me. But it left me hanging at the end. I needed more lol.

Nothing thrilling in this story! Save your time.

The reviews seemed like it this person was crazy which she was but everything she did she was asked to do! Nothing scary or over the edge. Save your points for another book!

Really?

How weird and over the top can one woman be. This book creeped me out, well the first few chapters anyway. Waste of a credit!
