This book was surprising. I was expecting the usual baby snatching (or baby & husband stealing) nanny, trying to off mommy (or mummy, since this book is English). The cover even hinted at that, but it's misleading. I kept waiting for something sinister to happen, was slightly disappointed, but then the ending is wonderful.
