2023: A remote Cornish mansion. The perfect couple. And the deadly secrets that bind them.
When Lily finally leaves her toxic relationship, a job as a nanny at Kewney Manor seems like the perfect solution. There, she can cut herself off from her old life, and never have to see him again.
The Rowes seem like a model family, and Lily falls instantly in love with her new home. But she can’t help feeling that something isn’t quite right. Why will nobody tell her about the nanny who came before her? Where does Laurie go at night? And what does Charles really want?
As Lily becomes increasingly entangled in the Rowes’s lives, she realizes that the perfect family may not be all that they seem. And as much as she fears the past she is running from, perhaps the present is where the real danger lies .
Cornwall
The locations are fairly vague and more of a backdrop than playing a role in themselves. However the rural and coastline of the location help to place this mystery in a remote, seaside setting where the main character finds herself far from home. Cornwall is the idyllic place to which she escapes. Or does she….
She does explore, taking her charges around a few sites in the area such as the Lost Gardens of Heligan and Kynance Cove. Well worth a visit in real life!
