An addictive psychological thriller with a jaw-dropping twist thats burning up Instagram, Freida McFaddens The Housemaid is perfect for fans of Ruth Ware, Lisa Jewell, and Verity.
Welcome to the family, Nina Winchester says as I shake her elegant, manicured hand. I smile politely, gazing around the marble hallway. Working here is my last chance to start fresh. I can pretend to be whoever I like. But Ill soon learn that the Winchesters secrets are far more dangerous than my own
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 Andrews handsome brown eyes, so full of pain, its hard not to imagine what it would be like to live Ninas life. The walk-in closet, the fancy car, the perfect husband.
I only try on one of Ninas pristine white dresses once. Just to see what its like. But she soon finds out
and by the time I realize my attic bedroom door only locks from the outside, its far too late.
But I reassure myself: the Winchesters dont know who I really am.
They dont know what Im capable of
