Publisher's Summary
The young nanny for a prominent political family gets drawn into a web of deadly lies - including her own - in this stunning debut thriller with the menacing twists of Megan Abbott and the exquisite suspense of Laura Lippman.
They are Phoenix’s first family: handsome Philip Martin, son of the sitting senator, an ex-football player who carries himself with an easy grace and appears destined to step into his father’s seat when the time is right; his wife, Marina, the stylish and elegant director of Phoenix’s fine arts museum; and their four-year-old daughter, Amabel, beautiful and precocious and beloved.
Finn Hunt is working a dull office job to pay off her college debt when she meets Philip and charms Amabel. She eagerly agrees to nanny, thinking she’s lucked into the job of a lifetime. Though the glamour of the Martins’ lifestyle undeniably dazzles Finn, her real pleasure comes from being part of the family: sharing quick jokes with Philip in the kitchen before he leaves for work; staying late when Marina needs a last-minute sitter; and spending long days with Amabel, who is often treated more like a photo op than a child.
But behind every façade lurks a less attractive truth. When a young woman approaches Finn, claiming a connection with Philip and asking Finn to pass on a message, Finn becomes caught up in a web of deceit with the senate seat at its center. And Finn isn’t exactly innocent herself: she too has a background she has kept hidden, and under the hot Phoenix sun, everything is about to be laid bare....

I stayed to the end ... but very disappointed ...
Not much story line ... lots of filler words and not enough story ... it will take me a while before I will read another one of her books ...

Really Enjoyed
I probably listen to six audiobooks a week, mostly mysteries. It’s been AWHILE since I came across one that I so thoroughly enjoyed. The story was engaging, the characters were just fleshed out enough, and the protagonist was human without being an idiot which many authors seem to struggle with. Do I think it’s the perfect book? No. I would give it four stars except I think I have to balance out some of these terrible reviews. so five stars for balance. ;). The performance was well done, worth a credit.

Terrible
I would give it 0 stars if I could. Not properly researched. Common mistakes. Boring. Main character not believable.

May be a spoiler
This was a good story but the ending was terrible! All we got was Finn’s assumptions based on very flimsy evidence! Finn, the main character is not likable at all!! I was really hoping for her to get some self awareness at some point but she never did!
