Emily's life is out of control. She loses her job, her apartment and her acting agent all in one day. She is a good but flaky person who has trouble with keeping a job and has flashbacks to some kind of early trauma. Her circumstances make her desperate and she takes a job with her former employer Scott Denny. She is to be the house-keeper, grounds-keeper, nanny, and personal assistant to Scott's wife Nina and his daughter Aurelia on their enormous isolated waterfront estate in the south of France. It sounds too good to be true.
At first, Emily is entranced by Nina and her daughter and the wine-soaked evenings by the pool, but cracks start to appear in the façade. Without revealing spoilers, this book is full of drama, suspense, twists and turns. I could not put it down.
