Freida McFadden’s The Housemaid is a masterclass in suspense that had me gripped from the very first page. Millie, the protagonist, takes on a new live-in job for the wealthy Winchester family, and what seems like a fresh start quickly devolves into a nightmare. Nina Winchester is an erratic and cruel employer, but the more you read, the more you realize that nothing is as it seems.
The narrative’s constant twists kept me guessing, with each chapter peeling back a new layer of deception. The genius of this book lies in its shocking reveals, particularly the jaw-dropping plot twist that completely redefines everything you thought you knew. This book is a fast-paced, addictive thriller that I couldn’t put down. For anyone who loves a good mind-bending mystery, The Housemaid is an absolute must-read!
