About
She's meant to care for my family. But actually, she wants to destroy us all.
I'm at breaking point. I'm a stay-at-home mom and I love my four-year-old twins more than anything-but they're a handful. My husband's always away on business. My mother's in the early stages of dementia. It's a lot.
How does an 81-year-old woman, who hasn't left her bedroom in months, simply vanish into thin air? I'm trying not to freak out at the thought of my mother wandering the neighborhood, lost in a daze of confusion.
We found her-but that was the moment I knew I needed help.
So I let Dana into my home.
She seems like the answer to my prayers. She'll be my mother's live-in caregiver.
Soon, there are red flags.
I catch Dana gazing at my husband when she thinks I'm not looking. She tells my daughter she's 'part of the family now'. My son Sam becomes silent and withdrawn.
And then, a few weeks after Dana's arrival, I enter my mother's bedroom-and get the shock of my life.
I ask Dana to leave. But she won't.
An exhilarating blend of breathtaking suspense and nail-biting tension with a shocking final twist.
Perfect for fans of Freida McFadden, Daniel Hurst, Valerie Keogh, Lucy Foley, Shari Lapena, T.M. Logan, and Clare Mackintosh.

"The wonderful delivery of Stephanie Nemeth-Parker and Joel Richards saves this predictable yet still entertaining mystery. Morgan, portrayed by Nemeth-Parker, is near the breaking point as she cares for her mother and four-year-old twins. Hiring Dana, a relative stranger, to be her mother's live-in caregiver seems like the perfect solution. Problems begin when Morgan's mother dies and Morgan attempts to fire Dana. Tension increases as Nemeth-Parker conveys Dana's increasingly unhinged personality and the gory actions that ensue. Joel Richards portrays Morgan's husband, who has his own secrets. The most appealing performances are those of the lovable twins and spunky Officer Kumar, who's always one step ahead of everyone else. Audio defines the dark characters and highlights the surprising conclusion. S.G.B. � AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine"
