This psychological thriller tells the story of Sarah Goldman, her husband Daniel and their young son who are starting over in a different city across the country. In her previous home Sarah, a stay at home mum, thought she’d found the ideal caregiver for her son, Jacob. Holly, a med student, wanted to spend time away from her parents and Sarah needed some time to pursue her photography career. Jacob, Sarah and Holly seem to be a good fit and things are going swimmingly but there are early signs that things might go awry. The story is told from several viewpoints and flashes back from the present day in Toronto where the family has moved to escape an undisclosed but unpleasant situation with Holly to the recent past in Vancouver. When Sarah finds hidden cameras in her new home she realizes that she has not left the past behind. Who is watching now? The story, after a bit of a slow start, takes a lot of twists and turns. It wasn’t gripping but the plot held my interest and kept me guessing. This novel doesn’t put demands on the reader and would be a perfect airplane or beach read.
