There's just no excuse why a book this good sat
on my shelf this long! To say this book was
entertaining, is an understatement and I
absolutely cannot wait to get my hands on 'The
Housemaid's Secret’!
This story is told between 2 narrators, Nina and
Millie. Nina has it all with a very rich, handsome
husband, Andrew, a large home in a prominent
neighborhood, a beautiful young daughter.
But, when Nina hires Millie as her 'maid', Millie
realizes that something or someone is not right
in this house.
As the story progresses secrets are revealed
that are shocking! While I had a general idea of
What was to come, I was still blindsided at how
this played out! All the ⭐️s for The
Housemaid'!! This is the perfect 🍿thriller!
Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for this
ARC in exchange for an honest review, I loved
it!

I have just finished reading this. In preparation for part 2 coming out early next year.

I'd heard alot of hype regarding this author and jn particular this book so when I was given an arc copy I gave it a read.

This book is fantastic. It seemed like such a quick read but that was due to this book keeping me hooked!! I loved it. Fast pace and great character and plot building.

I've now started looking at this authors blacklist

Amazing book and exceptionally written.

Whoa!! Solid, edge of your seat domestic thriller with a twist on top of a twist filled with smart writing. I could put this book down and can’t wait to see what comes next. Nina needs a housekeeper, and along comes Millie. Millie will be able to help with cooking, housework, babysitting, and much more!! Husband Andrew is furious a stranger will be in the house but he finds himself attracted to the new housemaid. The deception and relationships are top notch

I’ve always seen a lot of hype about Frieda Mcfaddens books and now I totally understand why. I was immediately sucked in to the housemaid. I loved the twists and wow wow that ending LOVED it.

Unfortunately, I have been locked out of my netgalley account for a few months and was not able to see which books I had on my list, in order to properly read and review. I do apologize and am doing a 3 for neutral. Will update once I’m able to obtain a copy and read!

WOW! Absolutely stunning read that kept me gripped until 3am as I just HAD to know the end. So many twists and turns and just when I thought I had it figured out, it spun again. Perfect for fans of psychological thrillers - you won't want to miss this! Absolutely loved it and cannot wait for more form this author.

This is my second book by Freida McFadden and I enjoyed it very much. It's a quick fun thriller. It has creepy characters, twists, turns and some dark humor that kept me turning pages right from the start. The end was excellent! I read somewhere there was a second book coming out in the series and I can't wait to read it! If you love a quick fun thriller I highly recommend The Housemaid. I will be checking out Freida McFadden's other books while I wait for the next one in the series

Unbelievable!! The Housemaid by Frieda McFadden was a story of twist and turns.

Nina Winchester a beautiful woman with a handsome husband, a daughter and large beautiful home. Millie is out of prison and can’t keep a job and living out of her car. She found an ad for a housemaid and thought it was a dream. A job, a roof over her head and meals. But things were not what they seemed with the Winchesters. They are hiding a very dark secret!
I couldn't put down. The ending was totally not what I expected. A must read!!

Thank you NetGalley, Bookouture, and Frieda McFadden for the ARC for my review.

This book was a fast paced, twisted read. The characters were unreliable and unlikable, who made this a tense read. I was never quite sure who did it so that kept me reading to find out what really happened.

Loved the cover on this one. This is a fast paced book which grabbed me from page one. I didnt know who to trust. This book kept me on my toes. The characters were so unlikeable.

This is one of those books that even though completely implausible and illogical you just can't for the life of you put it down.

Even though many of the events within this book wouldn't actually happen in 'real lofe'its a real engaging and entertaining read that makes you step away from the reality of life for a while.

Millie is a girl who has the weight of the world on her shoulders, completely down on her luck and now living in her car, jobless and counting every slice of bread. With no luck, no references and no options she doesn't know where to turn next.

In steps Nina, the epitome of elegance, advertising for a 'light duties' live in maid in her Winchester home. After an interview with the lady of the house, against all odds Millie gets the job.

Unbeknown to Millie when she starts, Nina is rather manic and has spent time in a psychiatric hospital. Her daughter Cecilia is a real spoilt brat who just loves causing trouble and all the while her husband Andrew is in the background seemingly treading on eggshells.

Told from the POVs of: Millie the housekeeper/maid who also just happens to be an ex convict, Nina the manic lady of the house and Andrew the man of the house who seems to have a roving eye ...

I don't want to give too many details as it would completely spoil the book but just know there are many twists and turns and most are completely unexpected!

An exciting, suspenseful thriller that you can't help but love.

With thanks to netgalley and Bookouture for the ARC.

Freida McFadden’s The Housemaid is the story of Millie Calloway who starts a job as a maid for Nina and Andrew Winchester. Told from different points of view, nothing is as it appears in this book, and I found myself on a roller coaster of emotions as I continued to read. I voluntarily read this complimentary copy of this well-written, suspenseful book full of secrets and unexpected twists and turns. Well done, Freida McFadden! I look forward to reading many more of your books.

A murder-mystery thriller set in an outwardly perfect domestic setting. But, under the surface there is intrigue and betrayal.

There's lots of plot of twists and double-crosses to keep the reader gripped throughout.

Thanks to the publishers and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
