Ashling is every busy parent’s dream: a professional nanny with experience and a warm, sunny attitude. But from the moment Mary hires her to look after her young children, things start to feel just a little...off. Are Mary’s stressful work schedule and lack of sleep playing games with her own sanity, or has she welcomed an unstable troublemaker into her home?

A harrowing and hilarious psychological thriller whose sense of disquiet builds with each passing scene, Erica Schmidt’s Lucy is sure to disturb and delight parents and non-parents alike. After all, if you can’t even be sure what’s happening in your home when you’re away, what can you be sure of?

This short piece kept my rapt attention all the way through. I felt for the poor overworked Mom who couldn’t see from the get go what was so obviously clear to the rest of us: this woman for hire was a total nut job! I was disappointed in the end, however, which I thought was a little unclear.

Overall a good listen, though, worth the price ($0.00) and the time investment (under 2 hours). Give it a try! ☺️

Kept My Attention

Both leads were made to seem neutlrotic, but not really developed & the ending was left lacking. Why did the child think the woman was a witch with no eyes? The actors were great, but I think the writing needs more

unpleasant characters & confusing ending

The voiceovers were ok but that’s the only positive thing I have to say about this story. It seems like the author got tired of writing and then abruptly stopped. It wasn’t even a cliffhanger. It just ended. The story line seemed half thought out and poorly executed. I wouldn’t recommend this book to anyone else and I’m mad that I spent $5 on it.

What did I just listen to?

Listening to this felt like a waste of time. I kept waiting for the characters to develop more, or for the story to develop. Neither happened. Confusing ending.

This was just a bunch of yelling and screaming and crying and nonsense. Don't waste your time.
