Louise is the dream nanny that Myriam has been looking for. Louise cares for the kids, the house, and is willing to travel as needed. What more could the parents want?
The book was not thrilling or mysterious, I would consider it more like a dark contemporary. The story starts with 2 dead children, you think that it will be a thriller or mystery, but what it ends up doing is telling the back story of how the dream fell apart.
