Publisher's summary

“Welcome to the family,” Nina Winchester says as I shake her elegant, manicured hand. I smile politely, gazing around the marble hallway. Working here is my last chance to start fresh. I can pretend to be whoever I like. But I’ll soon learn that the Winchesters’ secrets are far more dangerous than my own....

Every day I clean the Winchesters’ beautiful house top to bottom. I collect their daughter from school. And I cook a delicious meal for the whole family before heading up to eat alone in my tiny room on the top floor.

I try to ignore how Nina makes a mess just to watch me clean it up. How she tells strange lies about her own daughter. And how her husband, Andrew, seems more broken every day. But as I look into Andrew’s handsome brown eyes, so full of pain, it’s hard not to imagine what it would be like to live Nina’s life. The walk-in closet, the fancy car, the perfect husband.

I only try on one of Nina’s pristine white dresses once. Just to see what it’s like. But she soon finds out...and by the time I realize my attic bedroom door only locks from the outside, it’s far too late.

But I reassure myself: The Winchesters don’t know who I really am.

They don’t know what I’m capable of....

Could not stop listening!

This is a great book and was pretty dark. I loved it. Had to spend my day cleaning so I could listen to it all!

An enjoyable satisfying read

Without spoiling the story I have to say that I enjoyed this book as I went through my time on the elliptical or when I was walking. The narration was also satisfying in that Milly had that New York accent and Enzo definitely sounded authentic. If I had followed the story line on a movie like this, I would be looking for a sequel.

What a page-turner!

This may not be a literary classic, but it involved me from the very beginning to the last page. It was fast-paced, suspenseful and satisfying. I did enjoy the first half more than the second, but I'd still recommend it to fans of contemporary domestic thrillers.

Wow! That was fun!

I usually get audible books for my commute to work, but I finished this one over the weekend. That was probably one of the best I’ve bought. Couldn’t stop listening to it.
