I absolutely loved this audiobook! I only knew the gist of the Lindbergh baby kidnapping before reading this and, while I know this is fiction, I do think it really helped me better understand the intricacies of what happened, the suspects, the family, the role the media played in the whole thing, and much more. Also, I really dislike Lindbergh himself after thisā€¦such a cold asshole! I now want to read more about the family which is the mark of ā¬‡ļø¸

This book read more like historical non-fiction, which wasn‘t necessarily a bad thing in this case. The story covered a topic that I knew little about. I was intrigued to learn about the Lindbergh kidnapping, such a tragic story. While the protagonist seemed brave, I didn‘t feel that she was as strong as some I‘ve read about in past novels. I look forward to our book clubs upcoming discussion with this author.

There is so much about this case out there but not much about the nanny Betty Gow. This was really well researched and I think fans of historical fiction based on true events will find this a compelling read. I managed to read it one sitting.

TheBookHippie Ooooo. This looks good. 2y

KristiAhlers @TheBookHippie it really was. And I love how much research she put into it. 2y

TheBookHippie @KristiAhlers I am a research GEEK! 2y

My Thanksgiving read was a great one! Had we not had 26 people here, I would‘ve finished this in a flash! Fredericks presents a well-researched and sympathetic heroine in Betty Gow and her role in what is still one of the most infamous cases of kidnapping and murder. Engaging and fascinating, I really found myself engrossed in this one at every opportunity I had to read it! I never wanted to put it down and really enjoyed reading it!

IndoorDame 26! I hope a lot of them brought dishes and stayed to help clean up! 2y

TorieStorieS @IndoorDame Oh just about everyone brought something and I hope to have the last of the glassware in the dishwasher after it finishes its current load! š¤£ 2y

IndoorDame @TorieStorieS glad to hear you got some help at least š 2y

TorieStorieS @IndoorDame For sure! It was all family so there were lots of helping hands!! š�° 2y

Did you know who the Lindbergh nanny was?

I had never heard her name nor of the nanny herself.

THE LINDBERGH NANNY is an excellent, well-researched, fictionalized account of this tragic event.

The author notes at the end give additional information. 4/5
