The nail-biting new novel from Sunday Times bestseller Claire Douglas * CARER/COMPANION WANTED * YOUNG FEMALE PREFERRED * COMPETITIVE SALARY * ROOM AND BOARD INCLUDED * Una Richardson is devastated after the death of her mother. Hoping for a fresh start, she responds to an advertisement and steps into the rich, comforting world of elderly Mrs Elspeth McKenzie. But Elspeth's home is not as safe as it seems. Kathryn, her cold and bitter daughter, resents Una's presence. More disturbing is the evidence suggesting two girls lived here before. What happened to them? Why will the McKenzies not talk about them? As the walls close in around her, Una fears she'll end up just like the other girls.

It was a little bit long and drawn out but not terrible. Great twist at the end.

This was pretty good. I was taken somewhat by surprise in certain aspects of the story while other areas I easily guessed what would happen next. I got it on sale and it kept my attention so all and all, I was satisfied. Told in 2 parts, an elderly woman seeks a young companion, preferably blonde with blue eyes like her long lost daughter, but nothing is just that simple. ⭐⭐⭐✨

This is the first time I read this author and it was a great choice. This is a cleaver thriller with enough twists and turns to keep you guessing and entertained. There were a lot of characters, but the writing allowed you to easily keep them all straight. I really enjoyed it and will certainly look for more by this British author. I gave it 4/5 stars.

Good. Interesting characters and concept, a real page turner. An atmospheric book that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Even though you think you have worked it out, the author twists the story so it that when the revelation comes you will never have seen it coming. Thank you #Penquin for inviting me to read this via #Netgalley.

What could possibly go wrong working in a beautiful house as a carer/companion for an elderly lady add in a daughter who never appears to have a good word to say and then to find that your predecessors has died an untimely death
Claire Douglas never fails to deliver and this book was no different. Great storyline with some real characters and as always the bit you never saw coming. Engaging and kept me hooked till the turn of the final page
