Here’s what this book is about:”Emily Proudman has been offered the chance of a lifetime - leave her messy London life, move to a beautiful estate in France and help her boss' wife take care of their daughter, Aurelia. It seems like the perfect opportunity to start again. But once there, Emily soon starts to suspect that her charismatic new employers aren't telling her the whole truth. That there are even dangerous secrets hidden beneath the glamourous facade. Rather than throwing herself headline into this oasis of wine-soaked days by the pool, Emily can't help but ask questions. Why have the family been moved to this isolated house so far from home? Why does Aurelia refuse to speak or be touched? Why are there whispers in the night?” 

I received an ARC of this book but I decided to listen to it on Audible. I liked listening to this book. It was entertaining, creepy and disturbing. The way Emily’s boss and his wife were acting was strange and I could tell that they were hiding something because of how they were acting. I was surprised when I figured out what it was that they were hiding. I’m confused about how the book ended. I reread the ending in the book because I thought that maybe I wasn’t paying attention when I was listening to the audiobook but I’m still confused. I don’t understand what happened.
