Synopsis – What the Nanny Saw
I keep all her secrets. She thinks she can trust me…
Cecilia has it all. The house on the beach. The cute figure. The beautiful baby. But she’s a long way from perfect.
She’s let me into her gorgeous house as her nanny because now she’s on her own, she needs a little help with her baby daughter Peyton. She barely notices me. But I see everything.
While Peyton naps, I rifle through her drawers and discover the dark secrets in her past, the threatening letter from her ex-husband.
It’s a shame that Cecilia doesn’t have my powers of observation. If she took some time, she might just recognise me. I’ve been following her for a while, after all.
If she knew who I was then I don’t think I’d be so invisible. And she wouldn’t be so surprised one morning when little Peyton’s cot is found empty…
A completely gripping and unputdownable read that will have you turning pages deep into the night. Fans of Shari Lapena and Freida McFadden will be hooked by What the Nanny Saw.

My Review
What the Nanny Saw is a quick read. I did not realize it was part of a series when I first picked it up. I am curious to read the first book in the series. I do think it works as a standalone because the important events of the first book are referenced regularly.
The book is written in short chapters and with multiple points of view. This makes it very easy to keep reading. I was not fond of some of the ways Cecelia behaved and rolled my eyes a few times.
The book does not necessarily have major twists but it is still an enjoyable read.
This is my first book by this author and I would look forward to reading more of her work.
