In this compulsively listenable novel of domestic suspense, a young woman takes comfort in reconnecting with her childhood nanny after her father's death, until she starts to uncover secrets the nanny has been holding for 20 years.
Sue Keller is lost. When her father dies suddenly, she's orphaned in her mid-20s, her mother having died long ago. Then Sue meets Annie. It's been 20 years, but Annie could never forget that face. She was Sue's live-in nanny at their big house upstate and she loved Sue like she was her own.
Craving comfort and connection, Sue is only too eager to welcome Annie back into her life. But as they grow close once more, Sue begins to uncover the truth about Annie's unsettling time in the Keller household all those years ago, particularly the murky circumstances surrounding her sudden departure - or dismissal - and the dark secrets that bind these women together.
Split between upstate New York in the '90s and present-day Manhattan, Nanny Dearest is a darkly addictive psychological thriller of power, privilege, secrets and obsession, which will keep listeners' attention right up to the shocking end.
