My Rating: 3.2
This starts with Rowan writing to a lawyer from prison, trying to explain the events that led up to her incarceration in a please for him to take her case. She flashes back to her taking a job in a remote house in Scotland as a nanny with how it all led up to her being convicted of murdering one of the children.
Like all these "thriller" books you have to suspend logic and just go with it. The fact that she is writing to her lawyer and it is a whole book - ummm, no. You are inside the main characters mind and it is a very scary place to be....filled with self doubt, suspicion and paranoia <insert spooky music>. This does get tiresome but, if you can just "go with it" this is a typical thriller. Nothing that will ever win a Nobel Prize but, it passes the time
