About this ebook

Who would you trust with your precious family?

 

Wanted: full-time, live-in help for expectant mother. Must be organised, friendly and willing to do anything.

 

Rachel is determined to be the perfect mother. She has a birth plan, with a playlist and a bag ready by the door. She’s chosen a lovely light cream paint for the nursery, and in wide-eyed, innocent Abbie she’s found the perfect person to help her with her baby.

 

After all, every mother needs a bit of help, don’t they?

 

But Rachel needs a little more than most.

 

She still makes sure her bedroom door is locked before she goes to sleep. She still checks the cameras that are dotted throughout the house.

 

Rachel trusts Abbie. She has to, because she knows better than to trust herself.

 

But sometimes, when she catches Abbie watching her with a disappointed look in her eyes, she wonders…

 

In trying to protect her baby, has she made a terrible mistake? 

 

From the bestselling author of Her Husband’s Lover, this is a truly gripping story about how far people will go to find a family. Filled with tension and twists to keep you glued to every page, it is perfect for fans of Ruth Ware, Shari LaPena and The Girl on the Train.

Contemporary telling of a new nanny position within a wealthy setting where it all seems to be too good to be true. And it is! Cleverly written and interestingly dialogued where everyone is hiding something. Many thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture for this ARC!

“She wanted everything to be perfect…” It’s hard to know who to trust, particularly when you can’t trust yourself. Has Rachel selected the perfect person in Abbie to help out with calming her fears and with her soon to be arriving bundle of joy? Or is she about to make a terrible mistake? What do you get when you cross an egotistical social media influencer and an unhinged stalker, obsessed with said influencer? a bloody ripper of a read that’s what! Oh my goodness this story had me addicted right off the bat and caught in its dark sinister web! I could not put this one down and gave my Kindle quite the workout. The two leads are unlikeable, which I actually loved and it has been perfectly executed interspersed with instagram posts throughout. Alternating between the two women’s points of view, the deeper you get into the story you are wondering who is the most batshit crazy! The tension and suspense that simmers in the background. ramps up to boiling point which makes for an edge of your seat read in the lead up to its thrilling conclusion. All up The New Mother is a must read for fans of psychological thrillers.
