Mystery/Thriller -- 3 stars
Emily has lost her job, her acting agent, and her apartment. Her life is a mess until her former boss offers her a job. It will mean moving to France to stay on his luxurious estate to help his wife, Nina, care for their ill daughter. What she finds there is beyond her wildest dreams. The compound overlooks the ocean and is beyond beautiful, the work is easy, and Nina could become the friend Emily never had. Sure, there are some quirks to living there, but being curious can be dangerous. ----- An interesting, if not arresting, story that leaves you lots of time to wonder just how long it is going to take for Emily's naivete to come crashing down around her. For a book with so few characters, it is surprising that none of them is particularly well drawn. The solution is unexpected, but seems too easy.
