About this listen
Every brilliant person comes with problems. Even if that brilliant person is a child.
At least, it seems that way for Nathan. All he wanted was a perfect family. Is that too much to ask?
But instead of a perfect child, he got Cassie. She's a genius, sure, but she's not what he wanted. He doesn't care that she's a virtuoso on the violin or doing college level work at ten. She doesn't speak. Ever. To anyone.
And Nathan knows that that means there's something wrong with her. No matter what his wife says, he has to do something about his daughter.
He'll do anything to keep up the façade of having a perfect family, even if that means getting rid of Cassie. Someone has to stop him, but how will anyone know what's going on if Cassie can't tell them?
Having the perfect family just turned into a matter of life or death.

Story
This is my first job as a housekeeper, but Evan Warner doesn’t need to know that. It’s the first of many lies I’ll tell him. He just lost his wife, Lola, and now he and his young daughter Jessica are adrift. But no amount of cleaning will rid this house of the secrets that have seeped into the cracks. I never forgave Lola for what she did to me. But I can’t let Evan get away with her murder.
