Description



Book Synopsis



An addictive psychological thriller with a jaw-dropping twist that's burning up Instagram, Freida McFadden's The Housemaid is perfect for fans of Ruth Ware, Lisa Jewell, and Verity.

"Welcome to the family," Nina Winchester says as I shake her elegant, manicured hand. I smile politely, gazing around the marble hallway. Working here is my last chance to start fresh. I can pretend to be whoever I like. But I'll soon learn that the Winchesters' secrets are far more dangerous than my own...

Every day I clean the Winchesters' beautiful house top to bottom. I collect their daughter from school. And I cook a delicious meal for the whole family before heading up to eat alone in my tiny room on the top floor.

I try to ignore how Nina makes a mess just to watch me clean it up. How she tells strange lies about her own daughter. And how her husband Andrew seems more broken every day. But as I look into Andrew's handsome brown eyes, so full of pain, it's hard not to imagine what it would be like to live Nina's life. The walk-in closet, the fancy car, the perfect husband.

I only try on one of Nina's pristine white dresses once. Just to see what it's like. But she soon finds out... and by the time I realize my attic bedroom door only locks from the outside, it's far too late.

But I reassure myself: the Winchesters don't know who I really am.

They don't know what I'm capable of...

I have only read the very beginning because I was looking for a quick to grab my attention, easy to read and hold my attention book. This is for time spent waiting in the airport and on the plane. The very beginning certainly grabbed my attention and I had to remind myself this had to wait!

This book was pretty terribly written and the characters and storyline lacked depth. I was expecting a thriller and it read more like a predictable drama written by a teenager.

The book so far is fantastic but please do yourself a favor and skim through the book to make sure all the chapters are there. I'm missing chapters 18-30. So disappointing:( I have to return this book and hope the next one has all the chapters, what a mess.

Have had this book on my TBR list for a while. Got through the first 100 pages or so only to find that the book was misprinted and nearly 100 pages were missing, while other pages were duplicated. Recomendation - buy in store, not online, and review the book before purchasing. Seems like the print company messed up multiple copies that are being sold at Target, Amazon, and other large retailers.
