One day heroin comes to the house in the beach to work housekeeper.
There is no mother in the house. And, father is very unfriendly.
Though apparently, there are some secrets in this house ・・・
The genre of this story is suspense. I had a dim impression overall.
The secret concealed in this house is understood as the talk advances.
I got excited very much while reading. I thought that the end was very good.
Cathy began to live with Harvey family for her new job.
Because their mother died two years ago,
she looked after two children.
But Harvey family didn't tell her why their mother died.
Was it accident? Was she killed anyone?

I couldn't guess the last scene.
So I was exited during reading this book.
But the end was too simple for me.

The main character, Cathy Wilson start to work at Harvey family. And she take care of two children in the Harvey's house. The two children do not have their mother. Cathy does not have her mother like the children. So, she want to know about their mother...

When I looked the cover of this book, I thought this is happy story. But this was serious drama. I was very surprised. So, I enjoyed reading this book. I could feel with the characters of this book.

This is mysterious story.And sometimes it made me sad.
I couldn't stop reading.I hope the Harvey family started happy life over again.
But I think the ending of this story is not so good.
The main character Cathy began to work in the house of Harvey's. She gradually began to notice the secret of Miranda.
It is apparently mystery story, but I think it is love story. I liked the description of human relationships in this story.
It was an interesting book, because I couldn't think about its ending. I think Miranda didn't important role in thins book, and Nick and Juliet's love will be unhappy end. Loneliness or uneasiness often makes people mad.
Cathy Wilson go to the Harvey family because this is her job and her job is to look after the Harvey's children and housework.
In the fields there is the person whose name is Nick.And Duncan who is children's father hates Nick.
Cathy has some doubts.The biggest doubt is the reason why does nobody want to talk about Miranda who was mother and she died.

I don't like love story like a melodrama.I didn't expect the last of this story and the last is forcible,I thought.
I thought it has been caused such a tragic case by a desire for exclusive possession and jealousy.
