Catching up on the books I read while in Hawaii on vacation.

Autumn Carpenter is lightly stalking the family that adopted her daughter: following the adoptive mother on social media and dating the man who lives behind them.  She fantasizes about their seemingly perfect life.  However, she panics when the social media feed goes dark and decides to get more deeply involved, applying for their open nanny position.  Once inside, she finds that their perfect life isn’t quite so perfect, but, then again, hers isn’t all that it seems to be either.

I first read Minka Kent last year, in the sequel to The Memory Watcher.  While there is supposed to be a good 20 years between the two, they aren’t written in that way. Reading them, you’d think they take place in the same time period, with characters using the same social media services.  Still, aside from that bit of anachronism, this was another enjoyable effort from Kent.  I may keep my eyes open for more of her work in the future.
