In an elegant house in Little Venice, London, a young mother is quietly going out of her mind. When a charming nanny arrives to help care for her little girl Evie, she seems like salvation – beautiful, capable, devoted to the child.

But the nanny wants more than just a job. She wants everything.

Twenty-five years later, Evie discovers newspaper clippings hidden among her dead mother's belongings – stories about a murdered woman and her missing daughter who shares Evie's exact name and birthday. Following the trail back to the place that was once her home, she'll uncover a story of manipulation, obsession, and a mother's impossible choice. Some secrets are buried out of love. Others are buried because the truth is too dangerous to tell.

A haunting and sophisticated emotional thriller perfect for readers of Lisa Jewell, Celeste Ng and Alice Feeney.
