About this listen

“Welcome to the family,” Nina Winchester says as I shake her elegant, manicured hand. I smile politely, gazing around the marble hallway. Working here is my last chance to start fresh. I can pretend to be whoever I like. But I’ll soon learn that the Winchesters’ secrets are far more dangerous than my own....

Every day I clean the Winchesters’ beautiful house top to bottom. I collect their daughter from school. And I cook a delicious meal for the whole family before heading up to eat alone in my tiny room on the top floor.

I try to ignore how Nina makes a mess just to watch me clean it up. How she tells strange lies about her own daughter. And how her husband, Andrew, seems more broken every day. But as I look into Andrew’s handsome brown eyes, so full of pain, it’s hard not to imagine what it would be like to live Nina’s life. The walk-in closet, the fancy car, the perfect husband.

I only try on one of Nina’s pristine white dresses once. Just to see what it’s like. But she soon finds out...and by the time I realize my attic bedroom door only locks from the outside, it’s far too late.

But I reassure myself: The Winchesters don’t know who I really am.

They don’t know what I’m capable of....

Great voices from narrator!

The narrator gave the two main female characters very unique and contrasting voices which really added to the experience.

Well written, captivating story

Amazing narration, and suspenseful, original plot, very well executed. I highly enjoyed this one and recommend it to others who love twists, it didn't go as I thought it would. Delicious mystery, with things not as they seem.

twist and turns till the end

this is one of those stories where the whole time you're thinking to the character that they should just leave. just get out. just move on with your life. but of course they don't. lots of twists and turns had me guessing till the end. I did listen at speed 1.25 though because I found it a little bit slow

predictable story but great ending

This is an entirely predictable story with the exception of the last paragraph of the book which makes it all worthwhile. Great narration and presentation

Lots of twists

Couldn’t put it down! Lots of great twists and turns, kept my attention the whole time. I’d have to force myself to turn it off at bedtime.

great zinger if a twist

Trying to not expose any spoilers...but that was a total unexpected twist! This book had me glued.

Read flawlessly,I was glued to the narrator's voice. Great performance and easy to listen.

5/5!

Different than my usual books, and a lot of unexpected twists and turns

Definitely was not expecting all the twists in this one. I enjoyed it. At first I wasn’t a fan of the narrator, but after a little while I got used to her and she was actually doing a pretty good job.
