THE AU PAIR
By Jina Zachrisson
IN DJURSHOLM, AMONG society’s most wealthy, we meet the young au pair Jody. She is on the run. Desperation drove her all the way from the Philippines to Sweden. Her new life as the au pair for a married couple with two children looks like a dream but is marred by dark events in her past. Jody is haunted by her past as she clings to the hope of one day being reunited with the son that was lost to her.
RICH AND SUCCESSFUL, Sophie and Kristoffer seem to have it all. Then slowly their loving marriage turns into an icy nightmare, and parenting becomes a necessary evil. Sophie suspects that the new family au pair might have a hand in it. Or could it just be her vivid imagination? Who have they allowed into their home?
JINA ZACHRISSON’S FICTION debut The Au Pair is a nail-biting suspense novel about class inequality, power games and motherhood. Readers get a glimpse behind the polished facades of the rich, the hidden conflicts and emotional battles that are often kept secret.

REVIEWS
“… the kind of dangerous audiobook that makes you miss the bus stop, pick up the wrong kid from preschool, get burned by flames as a result of a missed fire alarm and other similar quality markers.”
– Dagens Nyheter
“It’s a suspense novel almost entirely without violence, but it’s one of the scarier things I’ve read.”
– Lotta Olsson
“The Au Pair is a well-written psychological suspense novel”
