My thoughts
I grabbed a copy of this from my local Library. I am not sure how I came across it really, whether it's a book that I spotted someone reading and I thought it looked good or it just took my fancy.
This is a book that I kept reading as I was keen to find out what had happened. Nell takes a job working for Robin Wilder in his house, she is a housekeeper, cleaner, companion and apparent mistress in some ways of Sparling Villas. Robin was a very controlling employee and was so set in his ways, I worried about Nell's safety at times. It soon becomes apparent that things aren't as they seem and the reader is taken on a journey of discovery as they uncover secrets along the way. Can the coincidence of Nell arriving at Sparling Villas be as innocent as it at first appears or are there ulterior motives behind her going for this job?
I did enjoy the story on the whole, but I felt it was lacking at times and this has made me drop my rating. It started off with great promise, but floundered around the middle and maybe it would have made for a better read if it had been read in greater chunks than I did. Sometimes though when we lose interest in books, we find that we don't always read it in large chunks.
This is the first book that I have read by this Author and it is a standalone read of hers, I will read more books by her to see how they compare with this one.
