"The Nanny kept me in white-knuckled suspense until the very last page. Gilly Macmillan's breakout thriller is a dark and twisted version of Downton Abbey gone very, very wrong." â?? Tess Gerritsen, New York Times bestselling author

The New York Times bestselling author of What She Knew conjures a dark and unpredictable tale of family secrets that explores the lengths people will go to hurt one another.

When her beloved nanny, Hannah, left without a trace in the summer of 1988, seven-year-old Jocelyn Holt was devastated. Haunted by the loss, Jo grew up bitter and distant, and eventually left her parents and Lake Hall, their faded aristocratic home, behind.

Thirty years later, Jo returns to the house and is forced to confront her troubled relationship with her mother. But when human remains are accidentally uncovered in a lake on the estate, Jo begins to question everything she thought she knew.

Then an unexpected visitor knocks on the door and Jo's world is destroyed again. Desperate to piece together the gaping holes in her memory, Jo must uncover who her nanny really was, why she left, and if she can trust her own mother...

In this compulsively readable tale of secrets, lies, and deception, Gilly Macmillan explores the darkest impulses and desires of the human heart. Diabolically clever, The Nanny reminds us that sometimes the truth hurts so much you'd rather hear the lie.… (més)

I've tried several times to get into this book and never made it past the first chapter. I can't say it's a "bad book" or even a poorly written book, it's simply not the book for me.

Not what I expected it to be, and frankly, a little slow. ( )

The Nanny by Gilly MacMillan is a 2019 William Morrow publication.

After the death of her husband, Jo, along with her daughter, Ruby, moves back into her childhood home with her mother. The house holds bitter memories for Jo, as she is haunted by the sudden departure of Hannah, her beloved Nanny. She blames her mother for Hannah leaving and all these years later, she and her mother have a strained relationship.

When Ruby finds an old human skull on the estate, it opens a slew of uncomfortable questions for Jo’s mother. Rumors start flying with many people believing the skull is Hannah’s….

But, then out of the blue, who should appear…

Hannah!!

While Jo’s mother is unsure is this woman is really Hannah, Ruby takes an instant dislike to her- only Jo is ecstatic about her being back and she’s determined to make her Ruby’s nanny….

Okay, there are countless novels about ‘The Nanny’- some obviously bad news, while others who are falsely accused- but in this case the reader is never quite sure what or who to believe. The story is quite absorbing with plenty of family drama, with a big mother/daughter theme to help round out the mystery. There are lots of juicy reveals, lies, and secrets…which I always love, so this book a nice fit more me.

Overall, a very solid mystery, well executed, with a excellent conclusion!!

I can appreciate that other readers thoroughly enjoyed this novel but "parallel" stories are not my cup of tea and I tend to skim through one of the story lines. I have enjoyed Gilly Macmillan's other books and look forward to reading more form this author.

I also found it difficult to believe that a supposedly dedicated mother would dismiss concerns of abuse from her own child.... ( )
