Emma Rous grew up in England, Indonesia, Kuwait, Portugal and Fiji, and from a young age she had two ambitions: to write stories and to look after animals. She studied veterinary medicine and zoology at the University of Cambridge, and worked as a small animal vet for eighteen years, before switching to full time writing in 2016. Emma lives in Cambridgeshire, England, with her husband and three sons.

I couldn't follow all the characters - between the two timelines and the changing names and the secrets, I just couldn't do it.

Un vero mistero, anche se non si tratta principalmente di capire chi è l'assassino. Una ricerca delle proprie radici da parte di Seraphine in seguito alla morte del padre. Chi sono? Da dove vemgo? La mia famiglia è davero la mia famiglia? Due case gemelle, Winterbourne e Sommerbourne, degli avi un po' svitati e una spiaggia bellissima ma un po' inquitante. Da leggere tutto d'un fiato. I segreti di famiglia saranno svelati, il vero volto dell'assassino un po' meno...

The Au Pair is the kind of thriller that started off good and as the story progressed just kept my interest all the way through to the very end. Emma Rous has written a truly engrossing thriller, perfect for readers that love family secrets. What really happened to Seraphine and Danny's mother on the day they were born? Why did their mother kill herself? Could the nanny know something? And what happened to the nanny?

This dual storyline book both explore the past, with the young nanny in the focus as she starts working for Seraphine parents. In the present time is Seraphine trying to come to terms with her father's death as well as the mystery of her mother's death many years before. But, sometimes, the truth can be deadly...

I found The Au Pair to be an excellent thriller and I can't wait to read the next book by Emma Rous.

I want to thank the publisher for providing me with a free copy through Edelweiss for an honest review!
