The plot sucked me in and the insidious build had me turning the pages rapidly I was blown away by The Nanny.

From the first page I wanted to know all the dark secrets this family were hiding. It’s a seriously addictive read and I never knew who to trust THE NANNY kept me in white-knuckled suspense until the very last page. Gilly Macmillan’s breakout thriller is a dark and twisted version of Downton Abbey gone very, very wrong. Gilly Macmillan is a master of creating tension so exquisitely unbearable I had to force myself not to skip ahead. Brilliant, gripping, and terrifying.

This one is no exception. Clever and deliciously addictive. A tense, assured and atmospheric thriller which will keep you guessing from page one right through to the shocking denouement. Brilliantly absorbing.
