The Au Pair/ Emma Rous/ 360 pgs

The Au Pair is a decent mystery/suspense novel. It has your usual, for these days, dual timeline. Seraphine is 25. She has an older brother Edwin and a twin brother Danny. Their family has been marred by tragedy. Their father has just passed away. Their mother jumped off a cliff the day Seraphine and Danny were born. The oldest brother Edwin had a twin Theo who died as a toddler. Seraphine has always felt different and as if she didn't fit into her family. When she's cleaning out her dad's things and finds a family photo from the day she and Danny were born that only pictures one infant, her spidey senses go off. Soon she's looking for her older brother's former nanny, Laura, and asking questions of anyone she can. The other timeline belongs to Laura, from twenty-five years before when she was employed by the family. There are several revelations at the end, some surprising, some not.
