Nanny Cam: An absolutely gripping psychological thriller with a stunning twist

"It's just for peace of mind," my husband says, mounting the third little camera above the nursery door. "If the nanny's wonderful, we'll never even look at the footage."

I'm Liv Hadley. I have a beautiful house in Savannah, a husband who brings me flowers for no reason, and a daughter I love so much it frightens me.

I also haven't slept in eleven months. I'm losing the business I built from nothing. And I am quietly, completely drowning.

So when a friend offers to step in and help with the baby, it feels like the universe finally throwing me a rope. She's wonderful. My daughter adores her. For the first time in a year, I can breathe.

Everything is perfect.

Only nothing is perfect. Not really.

Because lately, things in my beautiful house have started to go wrong.

Unexplained thermostat drops, fixed by morning. A grocery list appears on the counter in my own handwriting, except I never wrote it. I'm forgetting whole conversations. Losing hours I can't account for. There's footage of me doing things I would never do — things I don't remember at all.

Everyone uses that gentle voice with me now. The careful one. The one you save for someone who might shatter.

And maybe I am shattering. The exhaustion. The little orange pills. The secret I've carried for two years. But no, maybe it really is all in my head.

But if I'm losing my mind… why does it feel like something is helping me lose it?

I put the cameras up to keep my daughter safe.

I never imagined they'd be watching me.

For fans of THE HOUSEMAID by Freida McFadden, BEHIND CLOSED DOORS by B.A. Paris, THE WIFE BETWEEN US by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen, and GONE GIRL by Gillian Flynn.

What editors and beta-readers are saying:
NANNY CAM is the kind of book you start on a quiet weeknight and finish before the sun comes up.

It's a slow-burn descent that tightens one degree at a time — until the solid floor you've been standing on the entire story turns out to be a trapdoor.

This is a domestic thriller that plays fair and still fools you, hiding its knife in plain sight and saving its sharpest turn for the very last pages.

Readers who love a smart, twisty unraveling with a heroine worth rooting for will devour it in a single sitting — and anyone who's ever installed a little camera "just for peace of mind" will never look at that blinking green light the same way again.

Think you've guessed who's behind it? You haven't.

Cancel your plans. Charge your e-reader. Read it with the lights on. And maybe — just maybe — unplug the baby monitor before bed.
