The Nanny by Eleonor Samuel.
India McKenzie lost her mother far too young. And now she’s lost her best friend, too. She needs to escape, so she takes a job with a wealthy family. They live in an isolated old manor house in the Derbyshire countryside. There’s never anyone around.
Brilliant read. Chilling. Got goosebumps. Gripping and twisty. What a pageturner. I was yelling at India not to stay there. That family was just too creepy for me. 5*.
Blurb.
The Nanny . . .
India McKenzie lost her mother far too young. And now she’s lost her best friend, too.
She needs to escape, so she takes a job with a wealthy family.
They live in an isolated old manor house in the Derbyshire countryside. There’s never anyone around.
The parents are not exactly warm. It’s all piano practice and scheduling playdates.
Seven-year-old Alicia can be difficult sometimes, but really she’s just a sweet little girl who’s lonely. She needs a friend — not just a nanny.
Everyone says the grown-up son is dangerous. But India can’t help being drawn to him . . .
And there’s something no one talks about. A secret that this family will do anything to keep.
India became a nanny to finally find a family to call her own. Now that she’s found them — will they destroy her?
