50-year-old **governess Mary Wilcox** has dealt with more than her fair share of rich families, and she does so with patience and grace.
**But she’s not used to dealing with murder.**
When Mary moves into the grand Ashford estate to assume her role as a governess to three children, she is met with the polite formality of the estate’s matriarch and the curiosity of three children.
Little does she know **she is stepping foot into a nest of secrets and lies.**

Even as she **battles her own past demons** and struggles to separate **past from present** , she is forced to wonder—which of the family members should she be protecting?
**And who should she be afraid of?**
