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

[Tracy Wisneski · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Great characters, intriguing plot, plenty of twists and turns, as well as a great parting shot at the end! Looking forward to more by this author.

[Erin Lewicki · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Being a first time mum can be very taxing anyone, but when you have a mother in law from hell and a husband who seems to be constantly doubting your reliability as well as your capabilities to be a mum, that just makes life so much harder. With all that going on and Sophy constantly feeling so exhausted and forgetting the simplest things, she jumps at the chance of hiring a nanny to help her through her slump and even at possibly making a friend. Olivia, Liv, has just left her nanny position at another home and met Sophy through a mommy and me playgroup. What a perfect opportunity to get a new job so quickly! Although, her motives were much different than Sophy's. See, Olivia had a secret and was seeking revenge. Revenge that would be easier to take on in the confines of the home that Sophy was now welcoming her. But would could Olivia possibly be trying to accomplish by honing in on an already messy situation? Even more so, was Olivia the only person with a grudge against poor Sophy?
Thank you Netgalley, Karen Clarke, Amanda Brittany, and HarperCollins publishers for the opportunity to read and review this book. I loved every minute of it. This book was very suspenseful and I definitely didn't see the twists coming. I plowed through this one! Definitely a must read! I rate this ⭐⭐⭐⭐?
