Summary from Goodreads:
As he continues showing me their incredible penthouse apartment, I have a terrible feeling about the woman behind closed doors. But I can't risk losing this job – not if I want to keep my darkest secret safe . . .
It's hard to find an employer who doesn't ask too many questions about my past. So I thank my lucky stars that the Garricks miraculously give me a job, cleaning their stunning penthouse with views across the city and preparing fancy meals in their shiny kitchen. I can work here for a while, stay quiet until I get what I want. It's almost perfect. But I still haven't met Mrs Garrick, or seen inside the guest bedroom. I'm sure I hear her crying. I notice spots of blood around the neck of her white nightgowns when I'm doing laundry. And one day I can't help but knock on the door. When it gently swings open, what I see inside changes everything...
That's when I make a promise. After all, I've done this before. I can protect Mrs. Garrick while keeping my own secrets locked up safe. Douglas Garrick has done wrong. He is going to pay. It's simply a question of how far I'm willing to go...
Review:
Freida McFadden delivers another tightly spun psychological thriller with The Housemaid’s Secret. Fast-paced and full of twists, this sequel kept me hooked from the very first chapter. McFadden’s knack for creating tension and making you second-guess every character shines through once again, and while some twists felt a little over-the-top, the sheer entertainment value made up for it. The story strikes a good balance between suspense and drama, and Millie remains a compelling character you can’t help but root for. If you're looking for a bingeable, high-stakes thriller that’s hard to put down, The Housemaid’s Secret is absolutely worth the read!
