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.

Unhinged, Addictive and Action-Packed!

This book is absolutely unhinged! 🤯 I listened to the audiobook and found it ridiculously addictive. It has all the elements of a classic thriller—crazy, heart-racing twists and deeply creepy vibes. I wasn't prepared to be so drawn in, but this was an absolutely insane story and I couldn't stop listening. I literally had moments where my jaw dropped and I said, "What!?" out loud. Beyond the suspense, one of the most striking parts is how well McFadden portrays the subtle, twisted ways women are gaslit and dismissed as crazy. While there are some pretty jarring red flags along the way, the way everything plays out makes it impossible to put down. You have to find out what's next. I'm excited for the movie adaptation and can't wait to see how they bring this twisted plot to the screen!

Good

Couple of chapters in I wasn't sure about this but then around the second half it got interesting. This got kind of ridiculous and over the top while at the same time, it does keep you guessing and wanting to read the next chapter. Curious how the movie will be.

Amazing!!!

This is such a fantastic book. I originally got interested in reading it after the movie trailer came out, and oh boy did it exceed my expectations! I read within 48 hours! (Never happens) Fast paced, short chapters and so much juicy story telling. Such a good mystery thriller!!!

Perfect Thriller

A great book for anyone looking to get back into reading mysteries or books in general. While it might seem like a run-of-the-mill domestic thriller, McFadden did in fact keep me guessing until the end.

Kept me in suspense the whole time

This book kept me in suspense and interested in continuing reading from the moment I started it. I couldn't stop reading it, l needed to have the answers I was looking for, and I didn't stop until I finished it. I liked everything about the book; ok maybe there's something small I didn't like, I would have liked the answers to my "why" to have been explained more fully in the end, since the ending was a bit abrupt in my opinion, other than that it was excellent.

What a journey!

What a fantastic twisting ride this book takes the reader! The character development was so intriguing and the twists and turns were thrilling. I couldn't predict what was coming with every page turn. I cannot wait to get the next book in the series (and I should probably get all of them because I read this one in 3 nights). I have found my new favorite author!

Definitely A Seat Raiser

This book is a great read for those into mystery and thrillers! This book kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time! Just when I thought I had the plot figured out, it took another turn that could not have been predicted!
