LISTENING to an audiobook often transforms a simple story into an immersive experience, one that lingers in the mind. D.L. Fisher's The Perfect Nanny, narrated with skill by Sydney Miede, is a prime example of this kind of journey.

- D.L. Fisher Narrated by Sydney Miede

This psychological thriller draws listeners into a tense and emotionally charged dilemma, centered around a new mother torn between the desire to return to her career and the instinctual need to protect her four-week-old daughter, Delilah.

The protagonist's decision to hire a nanny seems, at first, to be the perfect solution.

Bree Miller, young, charismatic, and immediately enamored with Delilah, appears to be the ideal candidate - someone who could ease the mother’s anxieties about the safety of her newborn child when she returns to work.

However, the seemingly idyllic situation begins to unravel almost immediately. During Bree’ first outing with the baby in Central Park, a terrifying event occurs: a high-pitched scream pierces the air as a shadowy figure attempts to abduct Delilah.
