Kristin Burns has lived her life by the philosophy: “Don’t think, just shoot” —pictures, that is. Struggling to make ends meet, she works full-time as the nanny for the fabulously wealthy Turnbull family, looking after their two wonderful children and waiting for her glamorous life as a New York photographer to begin. When her photographs are considered by an elite Manhattan art gallery, it seems she might finally get the chance that will start her career.
But Kristin has a major distraction: forbidden love. The man of her dreams is almost hers for keeps. Breathless with an inexhaustible passion and the excitement of being within reach of her goals, Kristin ignores all signs of catastrophe brewing.
Fear exists for a reason. And Kristin can dismiss the warnings for just so long. Searching desperately for the truth through the lens of her camera, she can only hope that it’s not too late. This novel of psychological suspense is a stunning new achievement for thriller master James Patterson, “one of the bestselling writers in history” (New York Sun).

      The Patterson bestseller factory has turned out another high-drama thriller, this time in collaboration with Honeymoon
      coauthor Roughan. Kristin Burns, a New York City nanny and aspiring photographer, is devoted to the two children under her care, but her desire for their father, Michael Turnbull, leads her to a risky, torrid affair with him. Kristin's anxiety about her guilty secret is heightened by a series of frightening nightmares centering on a vision of four body bags being loaded onto gurneys in front of a prominent Manhattan hotel. Her nightmares also feature recurring encounters with dead people, including her father and the pediatrician who abused her as a child. Kristin's breathless, superficial narration doesn't generate a lot of reader sympathy or interest in figuring out the source of her macabre experiences.

      Kristin Burns is a wannabe photographer who is just skirting success. Since a girl's got to pay the bills, she takes a job as a nanny to the children of a handsome businessman and his porcelain-cold wife. Of course, the inevitable happens--they fall in love. At least Kristin does, and that's when things get creepy. The female perspective of the story is well portrayed by Ilyana Kadushin. She has just enough of a frightened tremor in her voice to communicate the scariness of the situation that develops. When she describes the dead people Kristin sees, dead people who repeatedly warn her of danger, it sounds real. Kadushin's delivery is perfect, adding to the fear and ultimate despair of the story.

      Ilyana Kadushin's portrayal of nanny and wannabe-New York-photographer Kristin Burns is tedious--as disjointed as the four murderous nightmares that plague her. Kadushin's depiction of Kristin, nanny to Michael and Penley Turnbull by day and mistress to their father at night, is read in dull, flat tones without nuance. Kristin's discussions with dead people are also rendered in an unsatisfying monotone. Kadushin's portrayal of Kristin's fear as she finds she is unable to wake up from her recurring nightmares lacks credibilty. Overall, Kadushin's delivery demonstrates everything an audio performance should not be. G.D.W. (c) AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine
