Summary

You trust her with your family. Would you trust her with your life? 

Mark and Melissa Cain are thrilled to have found Jade, a babysitter who is brilliant with their young children. Having seen her own house burn to the ground, Jade needs them as much as they need her. Moving Jade into the family home can only be a good thing, can’t it? 

As Mark works long hours as a police officer and Melissa struggles with running a business, the family become ever more reliant on their babysitter, who is only too happy to help. And as Melissa begins to slip into depression, it’s Jade who is left picking up the pieces. 

But Mark soon notices things aren’t quite as they seem. Things at home feel wrong, and as Mark begins to investigate their seemingly perfect sitter, what he discovers shocks him to his core. He’s met Jade before. And now he suspects he might know what she wants … 

Mark is in a race against time to protect his family. But what will he find as he goes back to his family home? 

If you loved reading The Girl on the Train, Behind Closed Doors and The Sister, you’ll love the suspense of The Babysitter. This unpausable listen will have you turning the pages until way after dark.

Predictable

Listened as I’d paid for the book but was so predictable and unrealistic. How would you take someone into your house that you met 5 minutes before!

Not great

This book was destroyed by the narrator rushing through it, no emotion just spat out sentences at the same high angst which seemed to always include one of the following.... 'incredulous looks', 'gulping back nausea', 'gulping back tears' or 'gulping back huge snotty sobs' oh give me a break!!

Review

If you haven’t seen the hand that rocks the cradle than I’m sure this book would be great. Otherwise it just seems to be a rip off of the film!

Terrible

Very boring and predictable. It’s been done so much better, so many times. ‘ Hand that rocks the cradle’ for example.

A great book

I loved this book. Great characters, a good plot and brilliant narration. We knew from the start what was going on and who but the suspense came through the build up of increasing dangerous behaviours and hearing the increasing desperation as things get out of the main characters control.... Not knowing how things would be resolved etc
Would definitely recommend. Hooked from the start.

enjoyable enough

a nice easy read with a straightforward plot. enjoyed it as I didn't have to concentrate too hard but it kept me wondering where it was going next and just how far. the narration was good.

what can I say except wow!!!

From the beginning I was hooked. So gritty, I definitely didn't want to put this one down! If I could give it more than 5 stars believe me - I most definitely would. I absolutely loved it ❤️
