Review: The Au Pair

The Au Pair by Emma Rous
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a fairly decent read, though abit far-fetched, to be honest.

Shortly after her father's death, Seraphine finds a photo taken on the day she was born, which was also the same day her mother committed suicide by jumping off a cliff. The photo shows her parents with one newborn looking very happy.

The problem with this? - Seraphine has a twin brother, Danny.

Seraphine is determined to unravel the mystery of her family. Her best bet is Laura, her elder brother Edwin's au pair, who may have answers.

Meanwhile, Serpahine's own grandmother, Vera, and a former family friend, Alex, may have the answers she is seeking, but no-one is willing to talk.

Told in dual points of view, of Laura in the past, and Seraphine in the present, the story gradually unravels, and family secrets are slowly revealed. However, I found the big reveal to be abit too far-fetched, but the book itself was decently written.
