Product Description
Nanny required to take care of needs of busy professional London family
When penniless student Ali Sparrow answers Bryony and Nick Skinner's advertisement her life changes overnight.
She is catapulted into the privileged and excessive world of London's financial elite. At first everything is overwhelming - from twins who speak their own language to a teenage girl with weight issues and a son almost her own age. Then there is Bryony, who has one eye on her dazzling career and the other on Ali's failings.
When boom turns to bust and a scandal erupts that suggests something corrupt has been hatched behind the Skinners' front door, their private life is suddenly public news. And as Ali becomes indispensible, she realizes she's witness to things she probably shouldn't see.
But is she principled enough to keep the family's secrets when the press come prowling for the inside scoop? Or will she dish the dirt on the family who never saw her as anything other than part of the scenery?

Format:Kindle Edition
I was quite excited about reading this book, as I expected it to reveal something at the end....But it didnt it left you with nothing. It described way to much about the ways of the banking world that i found myself skimming over pages and pages. There were parts of the book that were really good and that was what kept me from putting the book down :(. However when i reach the end of the book all i kept thinking was OMG i ve lost ?hrs of my life that i won t get back. Really disappointed.

I found this book very tedious and not well written. The characters were shallow, self centred and very dislikeable. It took four chapters before the nanny was even hired. If it wasn't chosen by my reading group I would have given up on it much sooner.

This book starts off ok but takes too long getting into. I got very impatient with it and ended up moving onto another book.

This is an enjoyable story - I don't know much about insider dealing but would have thought anyone doing it would go to greater lengths to avoid detection. Read more

Do Not Buy Anything By this Writer!
It is impossible to care anything at all for these cliched characters, from the nanny who spouts truisms to the rich and indulged family. Read more

Big anticlimax
I really enjoyed this book until the major anticlimax at the end. It keeps you wondering what will happen & builds the suspense but in the end nothing really happens. Read more

Fascinating
I found Fiona Neill's book funny, fascinating and surprisingly moving. It's full of insight and wisdom, wrapped up in a gripping, un-folding story. Read more

A great read
I loved this book, it may be chick lit but the characters are so well portrayed that I didn't want the book to end as I would have loved to have found out more about their lives. Read more

Boring!!!
This book is well written however it is a bit like pulling teeth. You can guess the ending after reading the first chapter. Nothing to it!
