Good ghost story.  I could only read it during the day because of the happenings in the book.  Rowan is accused of murder and the story is told through a letter to her lawyer

Rowan takes on a job as a nanny for 4 girls....,2 young ones, a baby and 1 away at school.  On the day she arrives for her first day,  Rowan is told that both parents have to go out of town for a couple of weeks.  Rowan , who has really only work at a day care facility, has no real experience being an in-house nanny.   Right away the 2 young girls run away and Rowan finds them in a very strange & locked up garden,  and they tell her about the last 4 nannies, who all left after being there for very short times.
