I didn't enjoy this book. In fact, I didn't enjoy it so much that I skipped huge sections and missed whatever explanation there was for Maggie's behavior. There were so many POVs it became confusing and I couldn't tell if some of them were in the story's present or the past. Since I skipped so much I'm marking this as a bail rather than a pan because I didn't get the whole story. But I just didn't care.

A new nanny comes to no 43 but theres something off about her. It soon becomes clear shes after more than just being a nanny but could she have darker motives.

This was an interesting read but I found it a little disjointed. The flow wasnt quite there between chapters. It jumps around a lot from different people which could get a little confusing. For me it just seemed to lack detail and depth.

This is a slow burn of a thriller, thoroughly engrossing, filled with atmosphere and a sense of menace. Mary Poppins this is NOT….I can recommend this for anyone who loves historical fiction with a thrilling edge
