The Housemaid

Don't miss the New York Times and USA Today bestseller and addictive psychological thriller with a jaw-dropping twist that's burning up Instagram and TikTok--Freida McFadden's The Housemaid is perfect for fans of Ruth Ware, Lisa Jewell, and Verity.

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 Andrew's handsome brown eyes, so full of pain, it's hard not to imagine what it would be like to live Nina's life. The walk-in closet, the fancy car, the perfect husband.

I only try on one of Nina's pristine white dresses once. Just to see what it's like. But she soon finds out... and by the time I realize my attic bedroom door only locks from the outside, it's far too late.

But I reassure myself: the Winchesters don't know who I really am.

They don't know what I'm capable of...

Slow read for sure, does not get good till the end. The plot twists are 100% unexpected i will say. Overall decent book if you can manage to get through the slow start.

From the very beginning, something had felt immediately off not with just the wife, but also the husband. His role however I did not expect could have played a big part of how his was was portrayed. Definitely wish I can read this for the first time again.

I’m somewhat torn because the first book I read from Frieda was “Never Lie” and I absolutely LOVED it… then I decided to read this one as my next read.. here’s the thing, I thought it was fast paced and the characters definitely got the best of my emotions…but I felt like towards the end it kinda got a bit corny for me? So because of that, I’m rating it 3 stars. The plot twist had me for a second but then like I said, as I got closer to the end it just wasn’t giving what it was supposed to give. Maybe you will see what I mean if you read it? This is a series as well but because I didn’t care too much for the ending, I’ve convinced myself that I’m not reading the rest of The Housemaid series.

My first thriller that I enjoyed from start to finish. The ending especially was so gripping I could not put the book down! One of my favorites now.
