Thank you for my spot on the tour and for my copy of the book in exchange for an honest review. ๐ ๐ฌ ๐ฅ๐๐ฉ๐๐๐ช Iโm officially a Ruth Heald fan. I havenโt read a book of hers but I didnโt immediately like, and Iโm happy to report that The Nanny is no exception. This tense psychological thriller hooked itโs claws into me before I had finished the prologue and didnโt let me go until my Kindle flipped the last page. The story felt so raw in places; a missing infant is right up there with the worst things possible to happen. Flicking back and forth between Hayleyโs time as a new nanny, and years later working in a university, trying to keep her past firmly in the past, until someone asks a question. I couldnโt work Hayley out for a while but still found myself empathising with her even though the story, as it progressed, made it clear that she was still in contention as the guilty party. There were other possibilities and I could almost sense the author offering each as if she was saying, โBut what about this one, hmmm?โ There is a wealth of well written, three dimensional characters who all had their parts to play. None gave me the sense that they were superfluous or distracting from the story. Some were likeable while others could be kindly referred to as disagreeable. Youโll make you own minds up iโm sure. Overall, this was a belter of a read. The tension was notching up as the story inexorably twisted and wound towards the big reveal. I got it completely wrong, but was happy that the author had kept me guessing. Would I recommend this book? Yes of course, but I will extend that to any of the authors books. I gave The Nanny, by Ruth Heald, five stars. #ad #gifted #TheNanny #RuthHeald #Bookouture #psychologicalthriller #booklover #bookstagrammers #johnsbookshelf #bookstabloggers #bookreader #blogtour #bookstagram #bibliophile #bookshelf #bookaddict #bookblog #readabook #johnsbookshelfblogs #bookaholic #goodreadschallenge2022 #bookpost #honestreviewsonly (at Southampton, England, U.K.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiWHmX6oQHI/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
