A review by rmarcin
The Au Pair by Emma Rous

3.0

I felt this book did not live up to the hype around it. It was billed as suspenseful, but I never had any feeling of suspense. It was mildly mysterious regarding the events that were happening to Seraphine, but nothing truly suspenseful. I had most of the mystery figured out very early in the book, especially regarding the suspect behind the odd occurrences, plus the mystery of the babies.
I also felt the book went on a bit longer than necessary. It could have been edited to less than 300 pages in my opinion, giving it a crisper and more tense feel, making it a better mystery.
