Too Late to Scream — Allison Knight

Outside New Orleans, convent-raised orphan Libby Sutton arrives to care for a little girl, only to discover that the child cannot or will not speak. Things are terribly wrong at Les Chenes. The first nanny disappeared without a trace and servants are now being murdered.

Is her life at risk like the child for whom she cares? Alex, the father, may be responsible and if he is, is he a threat to Libby? And why does he stir such feelings in her?
