The Housekeeper, is a story that keeps your eyes glued to the page.
I couldn’t help but finish the whole thing in one sitting! The author's writing style is absolutely captivating and engaging! 🤩
I also loved the multiple POVs; it’s one of the things in books that makes me swing my feet in the air while reading! 😂The storyline starts with a lady named Linda, a hotel worker who is obsessing over Mia. From Linda’s POV, Mia looks like someone who has a perfect life, but later, when we get to Mia’s POV, it’s something else! 🥹 It’s so heart-wrenching 😤 to see her go through these things, and her husband Ricky is such a manipulator and narcissist—ewww, so self-centered! I hated how much he played the role of an ideal husband to the outside world, but is a whole monster behind closed doors 😤. He changed so fast after discovering a letter Mia had hidden, detailing the money bequeathed to her children by her beloved grandmother.

From the start of this story, even from Linda’s POV, where she goes on and on about how Mr. Husband Ricky is always around Mia, I just knew he was creepy and that something was off about him.

I’m glad my instincts were right; something about him was off from the start. Also, another red flag for me is those rushed marriages—how do you meet and then get engaged that same week? Be fr!!!

There were lots of surprises and shocking moments in the book.

But nothing prepared me for the latter part of the book!!! Bruhhh, my jaw dropped! It took a wild turn, and the plot twist was insane!

Great read!! This book had light suspense, murder, mystery, terrible grief, intrigue, double crossing, gaslighting, abuse, and a few crazy twists and turns! The story was very interesting! I highly recommend reading this book! It’s well worth reading! Thank you NetGalley, my favorite, Joffe books!! And Sadie Ryan for sharing this book with me! My name is Linda. Most of my friends, not that I have many left, call me Lindy. I work as a housekeeper in a local hotel. I had the world at my feet once. Not any more!
