When I checked out this book I was expecting a story that would entertain me even if it was rather trite. The front of the book has this teaser - "You leave your kids with a friend. Everyone does it. Until the day it goes wrong." I've read several books like that (many have been made into Lifetime Movies!). This was a real psychological thriller. It is told from the point of view of three women. The main character is Callie. She is a single mom living in London with her daughter, Rae. Because of some health issues when Rae was young, Callie spends all of her time making sure she is okay. Now Rae has begun school and Callie is spending more time with Suzy - the American mom of three who lives nearby and is the only one who was welcoming to Callie. When a woman named Debs moves in next to Suzy, Callie reaches out to her as a welcome but quickly decides that something is very, very strange in that household. A great read! I look forward to next summer when Ms. Millar's second book will be out.
