But she insists she’s innocent of murder, and she’s afraid because she doesn’t know how that child ended up dead - someone else, very likely someone who was living in or near the house, is guilty. She admits to some errors and how they make her look more guilty. She tells the whole story in a letter to a lawyer she has heard may be able to get her acquitted. Little does she know that her story will end much more badly than she could have imagined: with a child dead and herself in prison awaiting trial for murder.

But Rowan takes the job, sure it won’t be as bad as that. The mother who hires her warns her she’s had a difficult time keeping nannies to stay on past a few weeks, and some have hinted the house is haunted. When she happens across an ad online for a live-in nannying position for a family with four daughters, it seems too good to be true: high pay with almost no expenses, a room in a stately home in the starkly beautiful Scottish Highlands.


Rowan has been working in child care for some time her current job is at a child care center.
