Slow Burn Psychological Suspense. This is one psychological suspense that features a tremendous amount of active gaslighting, so be aware of that up front. The actual conflict here is slow, told in two perspectives in two different time periods - from the nanny's perspective in the mid-late 1990s, and the child's perspective as a now-adult circa 2020. In the present, we see the child as a sort of aimless, emo-chic drifter overwhelmed by recent events (personal, not global - the real-world insanities of the era are never mentioned here, thankfully) and the nanny appears to be perfect... at first. In the past, we see how non-perfect the nanny actually is... and discover quite a bit that ratchets up the tension for the reader in the present day scenes. Solid work that fans of the genre will likely enjoy. Very much recommended.
