“No. I thought you’d be home earlier, that we could get a takeaway together.’ It’s not his fault, but I still feel angry. It’s symptomatic of the problems in our entire relationship. We both work so hard we’ve almost become strangers. And when we are together, we argue.”
Ruth Heald, I Know Your Secret

“The disappearance of a young baby has shocked the expat community in Bangkok. Julie and David McFarlane, who live in the Sukhumvit area, reported the baby missing yesterday morning. The police have arrested Hayley Taylor, who was employed as a nanny by the family.”
Ruth Heald, The Nanny

“There were still things her mother liked to buy herself. Mainly sweet thing: Bourbons, Haribo, Flake bars. Her mother delighted in them all. After years of always eating healthily and often too busy on her shifts as a nurse to find time to eat, as an older adult she had developed a sweet tooth. Hayley had learnt to stop repeating her mother's own words about healthy eating back to her; she didn't want to begrudge her any pleasure as her health deteriorated.”
Ruth Heald, The Nanny
