About this listen

Penguin Random House presents the audiobook edition of The Nanny by Gilly MacMillan.

The tension is simmering. The lies are piling up. Who do you trust?

'Pulses with tension until its shocking conclusion' SHARI LAPENA
'White-knuckled suspense' TESS GERRITSEN
___________________
Jocelyn loves her nanny more than her own mother – until the night that the nanny disappears. Jo is seven years old when it happens and never gets over the loss.

Now, thirty years later, Jo is returning to her family home with her daughter in tow – just as human remains are pulled out of the house's lake.

Then there’s a knock on the door. And a woman claiming to be her nanny stands outside.

Is she who she says she is?
Can she be trusted?
And what really happened on that fateful night all those years ago?

Sometimes the truth hurts so much you’d rather hear the lie.

‘Secrets, lies, jealousy and betrayal… Elegantly structured and infused with a creeping sense of dread’SARAH VAUGHAN

‘The plot sucked me in and the insidious build had me turning the pages rapidly’ JANE SHEMILT

The Nanny will make you doubt everyone - including yourself. Some families are built on a bedrock of lies. This one is no exception. Clever and deliciously addictive’ JANE CORRY

‘I was blown away by The Nanny. Original, twisty, unpredictable and taut with its buried secrets, the old creepy house and complex relationships. I never knew who to trust and the ending shocked me. This deserves to be huge!’ CLAIRE DOUGLAS

‘A tense, assured and atmospheric thriller which will keep you guessing from page one right through to the shocking denouement. Brilliantly absorbing’ MEL McGRATH

Gripping thriller. couldn't put it down. Twists. Thoroughly enjoyed this book.
Would definitely recommend reading.

Excellent

I loved this book and it's narrator. Full of unforesabale twists, was sorry when it ended.

Pageturner

The story is good and has lots of twists and turns you don't see coming and I enjoyed it but felt it left the story on a bit of a cliff hanger and a bit of an easy out just to end the story.

Enjoyed this book

The storyline was predictable and I guessed the plot very early on. Characters were good. Narration excellent.

Despite the dodgy male voice and the American voices.
Clare Corbett as ever is just wonderful to listen too.
I only chose this - as C Corbett was narrating. I have chosen several titles this way and haven’t been disappointed! She seems to choose wisely as I have yet to listen to anything bad that she narrated. I shall look for more by this author. Oops I already have used a credit! Ha ha

Enjoyed this very much

I doubt I will remember this book! The characters were frustrating and unlikeable. Parts of the story line were just dropped and leave you wondering what the point of it was. Generally I enjoy a R&J bookclub read, but this was just so bland.

Distinctly average

Loved clare Corbett but not a fan of the elderly ladies American accent. Overall a good listen though!

Great

What a complicated story this is. I liked the fact that the author gradually changes your mind about each character, such that those who start out likeable aren’t necessarily so by the end. All the narration was excellent as well. A perfect listen that I highly recommend.

Brilliant!

If you like behind close door or that kind of book then this is similar type of book...
You get into the story pretty early on and will hang your curiosity until the end...

Good Thriller

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

This has all the ingredients for a very enjoyable listen. Old house, body found in the lake, family secrets, vaguely aristocratic parents and a Gothic feel. In fact I found it hard to press pause!

Very enjoyable
