What the Nanny Said is a wonderful psychological thriller about Evie, who investigates her mother Mia's past after her death.

I enjoyed the story for the most part. It was essentially a page turner, and I really enjoyed the narrative and Evie"s journey and character development, as well as the mystery of the past.

This book does have some negatives as there are political undertones in this novel, like constantly referring to people's nationality, asking where a character is from to refer to their heritage (Portugal and Scotland), mentions of being "thoroughly English", "half-English", "more than half", "English rose", "English ladies", "properly Mexican", "the way they do things in Mexico"...., like who cares about this type of stuff other than the people who care about this type of stuff?

There are other details, albeit minor. The name Ramona is sometimes spelled as Romana (like the pizza). A British female is called Taylor Love. I"m tired of authors trying to make a connection to Taylor Swift to sell books (other people may not mind this). At one point, one character started rambling about Tony Blair (I!) and the Euro (!!!)

Aside from the negatives this is a solid, fun read.
