Ivy has the best of intentions. She’s protective of her six-year-old charge Wren, and she likes her employer enough to dress up in a Victorian maid’s outfit. She’s not too sure about the other inhabitants of the house. Then there is the chauffeur, Maddock, who acts more like a bodyguard, the housekeeper, Ping, who never looks her in the eye, and the elusive daughter, Odette, whom she’s warned to keep Wren away from at all costs. Oh yes…and the woods she’s been warned not to enter.
Abby Davies has once again written a taut, atmospheric suspense novel filled with fully developed characters and some great twists and turns.
