Genre: Psychological Thriller
Author: Freida McFadden
Synopsis
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 . . .
Spoiler Free Review
Wow, okay… So I’m not even going to attempt to remain neutral on this. I absolutely LOVED this book. I devoured it in two sittings.
Never in all of my reading life have I genuinely hated a character in a book so much! At multiple points while reading I was so enraged by the character I was shaking. Don’t worry, you’re meant to hate the character.
I found this to be a great feeling throughout the book as it added to all the build up of suspense and intrigue.
What I love most in a thriller is a fast-paced story with twists turns and mystery and oh did The Housemaid deliver. For any lover of thrillers or Freida McFadden, I suggest you pick it up as soon as possible.
I have to admit, I did not see the twist coming. That’s all I’m going to say…
