‘WOW! I absolutely loved this book and stayed up way too late to finish it!’ NetGalley Reviewer, 5 Stars

You trust her with your home, your husband, your baby… but she is about to destroy it all.

Sophy Pemberton is struggling to cope with the pressures of becoming a new mother. Her nine-month-old son never settles in her arms and the unrelenting tiredness from late night feeds is all consuming.

So, when Liv Granger from the mother and baby group offers her services as a nanny, Sophy is overcome with relief. Now she can finally get some sleep…She can stop failing at being a mother.

But Liv has a secret.

She didn’t become Sophy’s nanny by accident.

And Sophy has no idea who she has let into her home.

An utterly gripping and suspenseful novel that will have you turning the pages long into the night! Fans of The Mother-In-Law, Lies Lies Lies, and The Babysitter will love this heart-racing read.

Reviews for The Perfect Nanny

[Vivien Túri · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

The most boring, predictable book. It took ages to read.

[Melissa Regano · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Great book kept me wanting to listen to the story

[Janet Umaru · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

As a Primary school teacher, listening to this book gave me some chills with the perfect use of figurative language, descriptive words/phrases and powerful verbs. Quite an intriguing story.
