totallytales 's review for:

The Babysitter by Phoebe Morgan
4.0

A whodunit that will keep you guessing until the very end!

This novel is told from several viewpoints, all the characters are well-drawn and I was immediately intrigued as it becomes clear they all have their own secrets.

I loved the contrasting settings of a French villa and Ipswich a town I live not too far from so I am very familiar with it.

It just missed out on 5⭐ because I felt it dragged slightly in the middle (but that might just be me being super picky!) and it certainly regains it's momentum as the twists reveal themselves towards the end.

Overall, this brilliant plotted, tense psychological thriller is a must-read for all whodunit fans. This is my first Phoebe Morgan book but I shall definitely be hunting down the back catalog.

Thanks to HQ Stories & NetGalley for sending me this in exchange for an open and honest review.
