A thriller that has the classic themes. Due to these common themes..it feels old, done before and tiring. However, it is done well. The writing is good, the characters fleshed out. It's not bad. It's just not original enough for me to rate it higher than a three.

This is a hard review to write. I really loved this book! I loved the writing style and I loved the way the story was told in different voices.

Siri and Jon are busy parents and they hire Milla a young woman as a nanny for Alma and Liv, their children. Then things in the household change. The family is already dysfunctional but things start to change for the worst. So many secrets and lies and I couldn't stop turning the pages. I think I have found a new author!

I can see the appeal of the story, but all the back- and forth-ing got old to me. I'm old school and like a story to be told in chronological order. :-)

i loved this book so much, It has a writing full of emotions, a slow plot, with properly used flashbacks, and characters that look for themselves without even knowing who they are...
it's the kind of book that makes you want to write, and let's be honest, that's one of the greatest compliment you can give to a book

I definitely felt that something was missing in translation. But the book itself was beautiful. (Not the writing, not the story; the actual physical book.)
