BEFORE YOU START
The premise
Rowan accepts a well-paid live-in nanny job at Heatherbrae House, a smart home in the Scottish Highlands. The house is full of cameras, and its technology does not always work as it should. She has to decide whom in the household she can trust.
Why the setup appeals
- Living where she works
- Rowan cares for the family's children inside their home, so her workplace and her private life overlap.
- A house that watches
- Cameras and unreliable home technology are part of the setup. Consider it if surveillance in a domestic setting interests you.
IS IT YOUR NEXT READ?
A good match for your shelf?
Consider this if you want a live-in job story moved to an isolated smart home, where being watched is part of daily life.
Something to keep in mind
The isolated setting and constant surveillance are central to the premise. Rowan tells the story as a letter to a lawyer, so you follow events through her account.
