Nanny Dearest

Flora Collins was born and raised in New York City and has never left, except for a four-year stint at Vassar College. When she's not writing, she can be found watching reality shows that were canceled after one season or attempting to eat soft-serve ice cream in bed (sometimes simultaneously). Nanny Dearest is her first novel.

An addictive psychological thriller of power, privilege, secrets and obsession, and how caring too much can cause fatal harm. Perfect for fans of Lullaby, The Turn of the Key and The Push.
