Nanny Needed by Georgina Cross
5.0
With thanks to HarperCollins UK Audio, Avon and NetGalley for providing me with an advance copy of this audiobook, in return for a free and unbiased review.
Nanny needed. Discretion is of the utmost importance. Special conditions apply.
When Sarah Larsen, a waitress deeply in debt, finds a notice advertising a nanny position at an exclusive NYC address, she thinks she has nothing to lose in applying. Nobody is more surprised than her when she interviews for the position and gets the job, despite her complete lack of nanny experience. But when things like this happen that seem to good to be true, they generally are just that. Sarah quickly realises that all is not as it seems in her new place of employment, and find herself drawn into a world from which there may be no escape!
This was my first venture into the writing of Georgina Cross, and certainly won't be my last! Such a novel idea for a story and so wonderfully executed by the author, this was a gripping psychological thriller that grabbed me right from the start, kept me engaged throughout its many dark twists and turns, and spat me out the other end, in wonder at the final big reveal!
I listened to the audiobook version, and the narrator Emma Ashton also did a fantastic job of bringing both the male and in particular the female characters to life.
Will certainly be keeping an eye out for more works from this author.
