It did start a bit slower. I am also happy that I read it because I remember reading some reviews that said it was alike book 1. It was not!
McFadden managed to surprise me again with her twists and turns. Bravo. Some dark stuff going on here.
Millie has a new job, but something is wrong. The wife hides in a bedroom. The husband seems caring, but there is blood. And Millie does solve problems....
Again, I can not say much, because twists and turns! It gets really dark for Millie this time around.
Good book. Now I wonder about that next one. Will she really manage to surprise me again?
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...
How much can one maid handle?

DeleteThat was me commenting as anonymous up there. I'm not sure what happened but somehow Blogger signed me out and I didn't notice while commenting around a few blogs. Stupid Blogger!
DeleteI still need to read The Housemaid. But I do think McFadden's books are fun & twisty thrillers.
ReplyDeleteThat they are. I have read only one of her others, but yes I do want more
