About this listen

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.

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!!

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 ❤️

what can I say except wow!!!

Great pace and easy to listen to but it was so implausible in places. How Jade could be believed so easily (by a policeman no less!) and Mel’s irritating judgmental behavior did grate at times. As for Cummings how he got away with his behavior was also very unrealistic. I did roll my eyes a fair bit but still a good listen and exciting.

Gripping but sometime implausible

I didn't like it you could guess who was doing it and the characters just bickered I struggled to plow through it
