At first, this was giving me major Verity (by Colleen Hoover) vibes, only a lot less creepy! While there are some similarities, it's definitely not the same book as Verity. It is a much slower paced mystery. I was very intrigued during the first half and couldn't put it down. I enjoyed the twist at the end, even if it wasn't entirely unpredictable - I didn't know for sure what would happen, but I had a pretty good guess. Overall, a good thriller with a lot of tension and mysteries to uncover! There was a lot to like about it and the flaws were ones I could get past, so I’m glad I stick with it. A young girl is trying to make it as an actress in London and just when she hits rock bottom, her incredibly wealthy boss intervenes and recruits her to become a housekeeper at the remote French estate where his wife and kid live. Once the scene was set, I thought there was fantastic tension and buildup. Some points were unbelievable- how is he so rich? - but if you buy into it it's very enjoyable.
