The baby is dead. It took only a few seconds.
When Myriam, a brilliant lawyer, decides to return to work, she and her husband look for a nanny for their two young children. They never dreamed they would find Louise: a quiet, polite and devoted woman who sings to their children, cleans the family's chic Paris apartment, stays late without complaint and hosts enviable birthday parties. But as the couple and their nanny become more and more dependent on each other, jealousy, resentment and suspicions increase, until Myriam and Paul's idyllic domesticity is shattered . . .

Thoroughly enjoyed everything about this book! Highly recommend it. I have questions but not in a frustrating way .... many ways the next chapters could pan out and enjoying going over the facts as they stand so far.

I hope there is a follow up to this book!

Excellent storyline and narration. Very abrupt , disappointing finish. Who was Louise, why this behaviour?

Disappointing Abrupt Ending

An enjoyable and accessible read, although I would categorise it more as a character study than a thriller alone. It felt as though every scene could be unpicked, dissected and discussed with a deeper meaning, and was a great metaphor for the concerns of classicism and misogyny.

An interesting character study

So very intriguing. The narrator was a bit monotone with voicing characters, but still engaging.

Superb!
