Selena Murphy is a hardworking mother of two when she discovers that her husband Graham might be sleeping with the nanny Geneva. On the way home on the train, Selena meets a woman named Martha. The two women exchanged their life stories–Martha is sleeping with her boss and is trying to get out of it while Selena confesses to her that her husband might be sleeping with their nanny. The two women then separate, hoping that they wouldn’t meet again. The next day, Geneva, the nanny goes missing.

This was a put you on the edge of the seat type of thriller. So many characters, but you in the end realize that one character is known in different names. The whole book itself is fast paced, with some twists and turns. The writing was really great that the author did a good job of getting the reader into the story. The story of the missing nanny is where things started getting interesting–who is responsible, what really happened to the nanny. Not to mention the background story while the main story is going on.

This is the third Lisa Unger book I have read and I have to say, I enjoyed this book more than the other two previous book. There are so many POVs in the book but to my surprise, it wasn’t really confusing with many POVs in the book. If you are looking for a thriller that will help you get out of reading slump and a page turning thriller, then this book is one for you–worth four stars.
