Charity Cooper | 1 comments Hi, I'm looking for this book that I read a few years ago now. It has a dropped birthday cake on the front cover (possibly on white floorboards. It was about a new mother (I think she might have been living in London) who has a small baby. Towards the beginning, she talks about taking her baby for walks in the park every day even though she knows the fresh air makes no difference to the baby. She hires a nanny who she gets along with at first but then things turn a bit weird. I'm not entirely sure how it ends but I believe the new nanny might have kidnapped the baby because she has previously lost a baby.

sorry this is terribly vague but this is all the information I can remember at the moment so if anyone could help at all then that would be fantastic

Charity, would you call this a British psychological thriller?

How does the mother meet/hire the nanny?

What did the mother do before having the baby (e.g., job/skills/interests)? Are there other characters - father of the baby, family/friends?
