But one month after she arrived, Alice disappeared without a trace. Now, the new au pair Melanie has arrived-and soon notices that the Davidsons are a bit odd. There are the strange comings and goings at night, the creepy paying guests, and the sinister Uncle Gray who makes her flesh crawl. Then there's the worrying scratch marks on the floor of the au pair's bedroom. Did Alice try to barricade herself in? What could she have been so afraid of? Are the Davidsons somehow linked to her disappearance? And is Melanie herself now in danger? As she desperately tries to find out what happened to Alice, Melanie begins to understand that this old house harbors a truly horrifying secret. Alice was its last victim, but she might be its next… The Au Pair is a chilling psychological thriller from the bestselling author of The Stepson and The Child Who Never Was.
