'I'm Anneliese. Anneliese Whittaker. I was your nanny.'

Sue Keller is lost. When her father dies suddenly, she's orphaned in her mid-twenties, her mother having died long ago. Then Sue meets Annie. It's been twenty years, but Annie could never forget that face. She was Sue's live-in nanny at their big house upstate, and she loved Sue like she was her own.

Craving comfort and connection, Sue eagerly welcomes Annie back into their life; friends now, they were once closer than mother and daughter. But as they become inseparable once more, Sue begins to uncover the truth about Annie's unsettling time in the Keller household all those years ago, particularly her sudden departure - or dismissal - and the dark secrets that bind these women together.

Split between upstate New York in the nineties and present-day Manhattan, Nanny Dearest is a darkly addictive psychological thriller of power and privilege, secrets and obsession, and the unknown extremes love can drive us to.
